Reactors with AIO

How many people use reactors with their AIO? I was considering the TLF Phosban 150 since it can run HOB but want to know what you guys do? I have considered getting a BRS reactor and mounting it below on my stand or even on the back of my canopy. What do you guys do/use?

So, I have two reactors that have never seen water because I also had the idea that I'd put them in the stand and plumb the water down to them/back up to the tank. I'm not saying you wouldn't do it, where I failed, but the idea is a lot easier than the execution on our AIOs so I feel it's easier to just get something that you know will work with your tank as-is and you can always reroute/plumb it later if that's what you choose, but in the meantime you don't have equipment just sitting around until you get around to doing what you wanted to do.

 

That said, I just stumbled across that new AquaMaxx FR-S nano internal reactor and I think it's a very interesting idea for our AIOs. It's SO small that I think I could use two of them into the middle chamber of my BioCube easily. Incredibly small footprint at 3.4x3.2, fits inside your tank so no unsightly equipment hanging out here and there, and no chance of something failing and spitting water out onto your floor since it sits in a chamber. You may want to check one of those out. They are ~$75 at Marine Depot and of course there will be a Black Friday sale (which I think is 15% off sitewide).
