Reactors?

[McAllyn]

I'm wanting to do some experimenting with reactors, just carbon and maybe GFO to start, but eventually, I'll look into calcium, biopellets, etc. For now, are the basic single stage units at BRS worth it, or should I step up to the pump from the get go? $40 seems like a reasonable investment in a test versus jumping the gun on some of the units that are well over $100.

I think the BRS reactors are great for carbon and GFO. Only the single ones, not the dual, as you have no real control over the various tumbling with the dual.

That's what I was thinking about the single vs the dual. Seems like they both use a little bit different level of flow, so adjusting it would be impossible. I'm in the group buy starting tomorrow, so I'll tack that single on. I already have a pump laying around so, worse case scenario, I'll have an extra canister for my RoDi, lol.

I bought pickupman's brs reactor at the swap. I was using a tlf 550 for my biopellets. I couldnt get a good tumble no matter how much flow i put through it. This brs reactor works AWESOME!! The only mod i did was adding a plastic canvas screen on both ends of the canister and the tumble i get is amazing.

So brs reactors work awesome and you should have no problems with these reactors with any type of media.

I just bought the dual reactor from BRS and it is a pain the adjust the tumbling. I dialed it in to where the carbon only tumbles a little, but is impossible to find a perfect sweet spot.
