cmac23 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Which media reactor would do best for 12 gallon with 10 gallon sump. Thinking single canister wth go and carbon? Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The BRS mini canister would be more than enough. And yes, just toss in GFO and carbon together and make sure that it is NOT tumbling and you're good to go. [Edit] On a side note, I'm from VB and have family still there that I visit regularly. Now that animal jungle closed, any recommendations for LFS? Link to comment
cmac23 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Either fish safari or atlantic sea farms. I heard a new store is opening up on holland road. Should I use foam to keep it from tumbling Link to comment

When you get the reactor, it should come with foam inserts. Check out the BRS YouTube page and they have reviews on all of their reactors and show you how to fill them. Oh, and thanks for the information. I think I've been to fish safari but I'll have to check out the other one. Link to comment

VW_TDI_02 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Are you in VA beach right now Nope. I'm in Chapel Hill for the summer. If you have any questions about the reactor, I would watch the following video. It is a little long but it goes over the different reactors BRS offers and how to fill/use them. Link to comment
Bingo1213 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 BRS media reactors are amazing I have had mine for years and it works great! Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If you happen to get a dual reactor, do not try to run it on a single MJ1200. I don't think these pumps are quite strong enough. Link to comment

VW_TDI_02 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Plus one I had to set up a manifold off my return to run my dual reactor! Wow, idk why but I should do this. Only thing is that my return pump isn't that great anyways. Next upgrade on my tank is going to be either a new return pump or new lights. Probably going to be the return pump unless I find a great deal on a new light. Link to comment
