Phosphate Reactors.

[OCDP]

I want to add a phosphate reactor to my tank... yes, it's a small tank it may look silly, but whatever.. that doesn't bother me.I understand they can be ran HOB , so that's good.

Just want to know how effective they are?? Moreso than running some phosphate remover through a filter? I still haven't quite understood the whole concept of a reactor.. but would like to.

I have been thinking of removing my sandbed, and upgrading, and I've come to the final conclusion that it's just not happening, or at least not anytime soon .. so I'll learn to accept that haha. Adding a phosphate reactor sounds nice.. I do have bits of unwanted algae, and with that sandbed.. the nutrients are buidling up.

If someone would care to enlighten me on how they work, and if this would be something worth adding then feel free to post.

Thanks
