BRS dual reactor

[coolhandgoose]

Does anyone have one of these? Just wondering if it's worth while getting the dual reactor or two individual ones?

I have the dual reactor running on my 180 gl display plus 80 gl sump. There was some talk that these are rated to 120 gl, however I'm already seeing noticeable improvements after running for a short time, and haven't maxed out the amount of media the canisters hold. My vote - go for it!

Sweet, thanks. It's on my wishlist for the upcoming group buy.

I picked mine up on the last group buy, so I've only had it going for a week...lol. I'm impressed already with the difference it's making!!

if you can afford it get 2 separate reactors and run them off a manifold. Different media require different flow. I have the dual and only use one chamber now.

I would say yes and no to the above. If you want to run two different media then separate reactors would be better, as they do appreciate different flow rates.

If you have a large tank and want the same media, but a larger amount in both chambers of the dual reactor then it is ideal.

I run a single for carbon and a dual for GFO.
