![]() best one out there is probably euro reef but, it's not cheap either.
Reef Octopus is nice as well. I use Aquamaxx, which works quite well for me. There's also nexreef SMR1 and others similar up flow design reactor.

![]() I've been using a Vertex UF-20 for a couple years now and it seems to do well. At least I never need to do anything with it other than add pellets every 6 months or so.

![]() Ditto on the UF-20. Easy to control tumble with valve on the intake.

![]() Been using my Vertex UF-20 for a 3 years now as well. Works well. I'm in the process of looking for a recirculating one though so that I can fine tune the output independently of the fluidization. The new recirculating pellet reactors look cool and if I were to buy a brand new one today I'd probably get the Reef octopus one.

![]() I am also looking for one, but I couldn't find the Reef Octopus one from my usual online vendors. I did see that JL has the new vertex reactors. Anyone know anything about these yet?
Vertex RX-U 1.5 Media Reactor

![]() I groped one of these the other day. It's just a modified UF-15/20 reactor. Seems to me like they just beefed it up a bit with titanium screws, changed the union, and locations of the input/outputs and made the valve removable. That's the only difference I saw between the RX and UF. Otherwise the two reactors operate in more or less the same way.

![]() Also, BRS has the octopus reactors but I spoke to the Double-Ds at Concepts and they plan to get the Octopus biopellet reactors in soon. Give them a call maybe to secure one for yourself.
