BRS Dual Reactor Mod?

I have a Dual Reactor from BRS and was wondering if anybody had modded it, to where its 2 separate reactors. I would like to save some money and use one for bio-pellets.

It can be done very easily. Just remove the metal bracket and unscrew the canisters from each other. You'll need to replace the connecting nipple with push connects.

I modded mine by selling it on my local board and buying two individual reactors when they had them on sale. The dual reactor is a severely flawed design. I feed both reactors with a single MJ1200 with a T fitting to split.

It might be cheaper to split his dual into two due to resale value and shipping cost.
