Thanks everyone for the input! Now I have to decide If I should buy reactor or just a filter bag. Does one have a better result then the other?

Yeah reactors are more agressive media bag is passive and may build up organics which can breakdown to nitrates. I believe that zeo systems call for passive carbon use. Myself I use a reactor

I've ran it in a bag passively, as well as a reactor, I don't have socks so in my tank the reactor works best, though with a sock i think it would be just as good, or at least a close second
