Cheaper, doesn't plug up with detritus, it's very porous, perfect for a qt because you just boil it to sterilize it when your done and reuse it. I seed it with my big tank in case I need to setup a qt then just swap reactors, I have 2 vertex reactors full so I can pull one off to speed up cycling on other tanks
