Ill never go back to tlf

Daisy chained vertex

I love em, I'm not gonna lie tho I do still run tlf reactors but they're "modded" and I only run them due to a lack of sump size on my nano. 16x16" doesn't allow for much equipment

I run my vertex reactors on their own speed wave

Same as the ones posted above. UF1.5

Avast Marine MR-5 (GFO), MR-10 (GAC), and Kraken (BioPellets). I haven't flowed water through them yet but ready great reviews on build quality and durability. Made in the USA and amazing customer service.

Oh I was talking about the brand new ones Josh. Leaky RX-U.

So I tried gfo directly on top of the pvc plate and half the gfo gets jammed up against the canister around the plate and even less of the gfo seems to be getting flow.

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

my new rxu leaked out of the bottom plate where it joins to the acyrilic tube.

Proline replaced it ASAP .

I lied! I was talking about the Rx-U as well... not sure why I thought it was a UF 1.5...

My build thread clearly shows it's an RX-U..

The top is insanely hard to unscrew if I tighten it to try and stop the leak.

you're using the rigid stuff they thread coloured yarn into to make patterns?

What kind of gfo? I'm using the dense and hard hc gfo. There are definitely particles in that gfo that would fir through those sheets. good idea tho.

maybe you are missing the oring on top ?

the second rxu they shipped me came without the top oring..

I barely have to tighten my top nad it deos not leak at all .
