Like a bunch of the others i use the BRS Dual Reactor.

Works well, only uses one powerhead, really easy to change media and not messy at all. Apparently two single reactors with two separate pumps would be the way to go but all depends on your budget and room in your sump.

either way, I like it!

Have you had to change media in them yet? and if so is it a PITA? Also are you running them off of a return line or do they have there own pump and can they be daisy chained together and run off a single pump? I just did a quick search and they look really nice.

Personally I love them, clean design, unions for hardlines or easy disassemble. Mines running external so easy to reload.

I recently changed out all the tlf at the store and replaced with rx's, same with my home tanks.

For pellets home I use a vertex uf1.5 and at the store we use a reefoctopuss Bio pellet upflow reactor, no clumping, clogging and comes with mounted pump, very clean functional design but its in sump only

The rx are designed with Daisy chaining in mind. Smaller head footprint then the previous uf models I've changed the media out several times, I've Bern using them since they came out

Ill never go back to tlf
