Thank you so much - this was a perfect video - to the point, complete and easy instructions.

Excellent video, love it

I've used these for many years since they first came out, but I have moved over to the lifeguard reactors because of their simples setup and controllability on top of keeping everything in the sump. No hoses or added worries of hoses/reactor leaking.

Thanks Cam 😀Another informative video. Could I add ! Don’t put the valve on the out side of reactor. I did and it leaked🥹. It is perfectly fine with the adjustment valve on the in side.

very educational thanks for shereing.

Love your contents. So informative, really full of great knowledge. 👏👏

Thanks

Great video! Learned a lot. Would be cool to see a video on setting up a quarantine system or your clients qt systems.

Great video as always. Cam what levels would you try too keep a mixed reef phosphate and nitrate at. 🐟🐠🐡

I use my reactor as a co2 scrubber

Got ya self a new sub dude

Cheers! Thanks for watching

Cam, based on your experience, does a GFO reactor remove more phosphate than just having a bag of GFO in the sump, or does it just do it faster? Thanks

any suggestion my media doesn't stay at the bottom of the reactor after 3 days it goes all the way to the top

What’s the diameter of the 150? Want to see what sort of footprint it has to see if it can fit inside my sump or if it needs to sit outside?

Great video! I’m interest in running the small one on my planted tank. I get upwards of 2-3 ppm out of the tap, and my aquarium water clocks in from 5ppm-10ppm. Would this work on freshwater? Would this work with seachem phosguard? Does the phosban pull out other nutrients beside po3 like a carbon media would?

I think the reactor would work on freshwater, but with the levels you’re getting I think I’d be more inclined to start using RO water (remineralised) rather than your tap water for waterchanges. It would probably be a never ending battle trying to reduce your phosphate from that level with a reactor. Cam

Can you do a video on the 550 reactor, everyone is doing the 150. I have an old one with missing pieces and I have been ordering the fittings so I can use it, but I want to make sure I got everything. Thanks

I think the 2 reactors are very similar. Probably the only difference is the size and a slight difference in the intake/outlet positions. I’ll try and do a focus on the 550 in a future build, we do use them often. Cam

love your videos man we gonna get more soon? :D

Definitely. We release a video most Wednesday mornings (Brisbane, Australia time). Cam

Can you use this as hob?

What’s size is that sicce pump?

What size would you recommend for a 650L tank? Would the 150 still be sufficient or is it better to go with the 550?

I’d definitely recommend the 550. Cam

Hello i have the litlle reactor put my media don t move very good

It is probably a flow issue through the reactor or there is too much media in it. Try higher flow with less media. Cam

Hey Cam, never been a fan of reactors for phosphate. I prefer the control with dosing liquid phosphate removers.

I’m totally the opposite. I’ve only ever had problems with dosing Lanth, even though it is very effective. Cam

With a reactor you can control the flow so improving the level of phosphate taken out or left in your aquarium water, also you generally change the media only once a month - 3 months, i do like lanthium chloride to lower levels to a reasonable amount then run a reactor to maintain it in a heavier bioload aquarium or a neglected aquarium :)

@@GalleryAquaticaTV curious to hear what issues you have with lanthanum chloride. I was toying with using it but ended up going down the GFO route because I heard of cases of fish mortality?

Yes you can, as they seal very well. You would want to ensure that it doesn’t get knocked by pets or kids as it would cause a flood if it did. Cam
