Go big or go home! Seriously though, you do want these things pretty big to successfully use the pellets in my opinion. I ran them in a TLF phosban reactors for a while and although that worked out okay, I did find I was having to shake it every so often to dislodge the pellets as they clumped quite easily. Also, the max that i could get in the TLF reactor was like, 300ml or something like that. I suppose that would be okay for smaller tanks.

The reactor is a well build unit. I had one apart at Red Coral last week. Only think I would change would be the valve. A gate valve would really make it that much better.

Nice! Thanks for the pictures! Do you have the sponge in the bottom? If so take it out right away, you don't need to run ANY sponges, it is okay if the pellets fall down below the bottom plate. Even better get some of our Reactor Mod material or buy something locally like it and modify your reactor.

Ya, i cut both sponges down to like 2-5mm.. but you are right, the bottom sponge is not necessary and I will likely take it out soon. The top sponge is nice to have in case I accidentally blast the reactor and blow pellets through the top :-) But again, just a thin 2-5mm sponge.
