Media Reactors
I realize these are super simple and most people just buy whatever, but I am upgrading and looking for a couple specific things;
- No more than 5.5" footprint, height is not so important, between 10 and 16 inches is fine, as long as it holds about 1/2 litre. - I need the top bubble plate to be able to be moved (and secured) up and down. It seems a lot of them have it attached to the lid (like Avast or Geo) or other means which keeps it at the top, which won't work for me. - I would prefer simple 90° 1/2" hose barb connections and a thumbscrew type lid. - Prefer cast acrylic and something not made in China The only real options I have found are the Aquamaxx (China), Bashsea (straight fittings though) and the new Aquaforest (probably China) one but I am wondering if there are others. Vertex looks ok, but not the style of lid or fittings I prefer. Thanks for help! |

Have you looked at NextReef Media Reactors? I don't know the dimensions but it's pretty close to what you're looking for.

I also found the MRC reactors which looks awesome but man, not many people sell the newer X series. I can only find them on EBay. |

Have you looked at the Innovative Marine AUQA reactor?
http://www.marinedepot.com/Innovativ...FRISPR-vi.html There are three sizes available but the link is the 1000 ml version. The next version down only handles 350 ml

I'd contact Avast about a custom kit. I bet they'll take care of you. I recently bought one of their you builds and am happy with it.

Just purchased the Avast kit with an extra lower media plate. I can make this work pretty easily I believe and I have been happy with all Avast products I have purchased before.
