Are reactors good for smaller tanks?? Or can they even be ran on a small tank? Can a reactor be purchased locally? A phosban reactor sounds pretty effective.

I got mine from Golds.And yes you can use them on small tanks,you just use the proper amount of media for your tank size.

But IIRC you have a 20g? If so you may find a couple 50% or more waterchanges to work.So lets say 10g w/c a week,thats 15 w/c for $60.And you wouldn't have to dose anything or even use a skimmer.
