Default TLF Phosban Reactor vs Vertex Reactor

Anyone with recommendations for either.

Wanting to run Biopellets. On a 90G system with 75G sump.

Thanks for your input.

No idea with the Vertex for I'm using the TLF & Boyu reactors and both of them require some diy works in order to run the biopellets properly.

I'm using Vertex with a sedra 2500 pump.
all I did was take out the sponges.
I chose it based on where I wanted to keep it. Vertex has a built in foot to stand on.

I used TLF and then upgrade to Vertex and then upgrade to Deltec FR 509. I don't like TLF and Vertex because they both got leaked if it is not seal properly

Deltec is the best because of how the lid got designed, very easy to open and fill up the media. Plus it is bigger :-)

I use a TLF for my 90G. I think it the reactor is half full when tumbling, which is about 1/2 the bag.

I used the plastic mesh from Michael's (craft store) in place of the foam.

And a MJ1200.
