Thanks Tony, I can relate, I'm looking at everything you are except my
T-5's are still okay.
Had to rush out at supper time and pick up a new Blueline return pump cuz my Turbosea quit. (That's what happens when you don't clean it for 2 years ). But it's okay after a 4 day soak so I have a backup now.
I have to clean my streamrocks again in less than 2 months so I've been looking at a wavebox's.

What I've gathered on the CA reactors, Deltec is fluidized and has a bayonet lock on the top. (at twice the price of most others).

Geo's seem to get great reviews, PH port, and key hole slots in the lid.

Schuran is high flow low pressure, you regulate the flow on the input side instead of effluent side. Sounds like pulling the effluent through with a peri pump is the most consistent way to feed it.
It does have 8 thumbscrews (4 on top, 4 on bottom) but the whole media chamber comes out so you can take it to the sink for refilling.

I'd like to just feed it from a tee in my return so Gools I'm curious how you have yours set up. Is the needle valve on the input side?
What's your flow rate?

And thanks trilinearmipmap I'll have a look at the Barr's.

Talk about spending money in your head, it looks like this Sony projector is crapping out and oh yeah my wedding and honeymoon are in a week!
