carbon/phosphate reactor works great. Very Happy!!
I bought two phosphate reactors from Gerwin at pass road pets, one I am using for carbon and the other for phosphate resin. I just got them installed a few days ago, and I am very pleased. The canister style reactors come with a fitting that fits on the output shaft of an mj1200 perfectly just push it right on and you are done, it has a flow valve and everything on it. I ran the first line into the canister with the carbon in it and from the output directly into the canister with the phosphate resin. I love this setup because the water has no choice but to go through the carbon and the phosphate resin. Much better than just laying a bag of carbon or resin in your sump. I also like that the flow rate in the second phosphate reactor is perfect with the mj running at full and after going through the carbon, "if you just ran 1 canister with phosphate you would have to choke it down." It has been running for about 3 days now and on the second day I noticed much clearer water, and today when I got up the tank was crystal clear. No more tint to the water or little things floating around in it. The installation was easy, one thing to take note of is when installing the tubing and the mj to the connectors don’t be afraid to push hard, be sure to push them all the way in. When I installed it I pushed until it felt snug then stopped, I ended up with leaks. These things are inexpensive and definitely worth the money!!!!!
