Best Biopellet reactor

I am also looking for one, but I couldn't find the Reef Octopus one from my usual online vendors. I did see that JL has the new vertex reactors. Anyone know anything about these yet?

Vertex RX-U 1.5 Media Reactor

I groped one of these the other day. It's just a modified UF-15/20 reactor. Seems to me like they just beefed it up a bit with titanium screws, changed the union, and locations of the input/outputs and made the valve removable. That's the only difference I saw between the RX and UF. Otherwise the two reactors operate in more or less the same way.

Also, BRS has the octopus reactors but I spoke to the Double-Ds at Concepts and they plan to get the Octopus biopellet reactors in soon. Give them a call maybe to secure one for yourself.

Are you talking about Dave and Denny, or did they get a new secretary to encourage new customers? If the latter, then I have a few things I need to go pick up today.

The Double-Ds occasionally like to have "Double-D" parties.. that's all I'm gunna say..

They are basically two types reactor that people used for BioPellets.

Regular media reactor(GFO, Carbon, etc) remove the foam and replace with mesh.

Dedicated bio pellet reactor, and these usually only has mesh or screen on the top to prevent pellets escaping, and open bottom to prevent clogging.

I have a BNIB SMR1 if you are interested.

Thanks I have a vertex reactor for my pellets it always clogged , I had mesh top and bottom but now just removed the bottom-looks to be running really well now
