Reliable GFO and Carbon reactor

[Tony888]

Hi everyone,

I plan to purchase a GFO reactor soon. Should I purchase one that has both GFO and Carbon? What brand should I purchase? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Its really going to depend on your system and plumbing set up. I have 2 tanks, one has 2 AquaMaxx reactors that are plumbed into my return line. I use one for carbon and the other is empty now but could be used for any other medium like GFO if I need it. The other system uses one of the simple reactors from BRS with a powerhead in my sump to feed it. That one usually has carbon only but from time to time I may mix some GFO in with the carbon. So its really up to you and what you have for a set up. You want something that a) works and b) is easy to maintain (change medium and clean).
