I'm using TLF right now and was going to switch over to the Vertex. I bought one and have'nt hooked it up as i'm looking for another one. Why did'nt you like the Vertex? And thanks, you may save me some time and money

i found unthreading the lid to be really difficult. it would get dirty and seize tight. also it always leaked and thankfully i had plumbed it over my sump. the flow thru the media in my brs reactor is so much better at keeping my gfo gently moving as well. just my 0.02.

when i added my frag tank i used the connection from the vertex reactor to tie into. it's a very expensive union now lol.
