I personally wish I'd gone with the BRS reactors again. My Vertex also always leaks but it's in my sump thankfully.

Its a pita but i dont use foam with gfo on the bottom, using tje small plastic knitting mesh u bssicslly cut a foam oad size piece, the holes are smaller tjen the plate the rx comes with. Great flow and doesnt clog

Mine dont lesk but i fibd the top hard to screw on and off
