What's a good phosban reactor for a fair price?

What size tank? The Phosban 150 is a proven winner, if you need something for a larger system you could daisy chain 2 of them. Here's a link:http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem.aspx?idProduct=TL4311 :)

Two Little Fishes.

If you look in the DIY forum I'm sure someone has made out of a Gatorade bottle.....

bulk reef supply has there own version. i have never used it but would figure it is better built but also a little more expensive.

I have one of these, and am very happy with it. I would highly recommend it.

They just use RO/DI Filter housings. Personally I don't like how bulky they are, and prefer the TLF reactor.

BRS - BRS Single Media Reactor (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Carbon-and-Phosphate-Remover-GFO-Media-Bags-&-Reactors/c109_85/p678/BRS-Single--GFO-and-Carbon-Reactor/product_info.html)

BRS - BRS Dual Media Reactor (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Carbon-and-Phosphate-Remover-GFO-Media-Bags-&-Reactors/c109_85/p679/BRS-%22DUAL%22-GFO-and-Carbon-Reactor/product_info.html)

They sell the TLF Phosban 150 as well:

I've been using the BRS reactors also, and am happy with them. I've used the Kent reactor previously, and always have trouble getting the lid on with the tube in the right place after filling it.

I bought a Phosban 150 a year ago and it is ok.

I think the new Warner Marine Media Reactor is the nicest one on the market now:

The Warner Marine is expensive. They all get rid of phosphate just as good as the others right? or does one works better than the other?

I use both the phosban two little fishes reactor and the BRS dual reactor. The two little fishes works better for me. Easy to view the tumbling. Easier to change . More consistent flow.
