In return, let me know when you're in the area again, and I'll give it to you for $10 instead of $20. Sorry for wasting your time and gas again. Link to comment

Incubus_doubled Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Super excited about this product. I used to owned the inTank mediabasket for the 12 gl nano dx. It's a space saver in my chambers and not too mention is easier to maintain and clean. Now all of you that have a JBJ 28 gl nano are going to say why do I need this if it comes with the 28 series. Well my friends, as you can see the quality and craftsmanship on how this item is made speaks for itself. Comparing this two mediabasket side by side, you can tell by the nature of the material use. It's build to fit snugly inside the chamber. The inTank mediabasket has larger chambers to perfectly fit your media. Both brackets and back wall force the water to go straight into and flow towards the middle. No more water escaping on the sides or bouncing off to the back anymore. I got all my basic media that's going to assist me on keeping this tank running to its top shape. I got filter floss on 1st chamber, SeaChem Purigen on 2nd chamber, Chemi Pure Elite on 3rd chamber, and a little bit of seachem phosguard since I notice some hair algae(will only keep there for 3days). I love the way the 3rd chamber is large enough for in the future if I want to rearrange my media, I can add chaeto and a submersible light. The sliding wall slides out easy to access your media. So as you can see the bracket mounts on the back and fits perfectly, water is push straight down to pass through the middle. It's easily accessible and slides out without no problem. I have to say that Stevie T sure did a great quality job on this mediabasket. Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ahhh I see. Sorry to hear about the chalice... I think that part was hurt from too much waterflow from where it was at just recently..., but I wasn't too sure. My bad, but I'm sure the chalice will recover since I had that piece for 2-3months. Let me know how it goes in 3-4 weeks. Otherwise, on a good note, it's good to know the blasto is doing well. Link to comment

Incubus_doubled Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 So I decided to try out this Media Reactor to see if it would work with bio pellets. It comes with different filtration pads, 1/2" tube, and john guest fittings. It looks pretty simple to install and pretty much plug and play. I drilled in 2 screws and made sure it would be leveled. The John Guest fittings slip really easy to a 1/2" pump output. The issue I was experiencing here is that I don't have enough space on my chamber to work with, I placed the pump on the far right chamber, had to force it a little to make it fit. After leveling the cap on the screws, the next step was to add the bio pellets. I measured the amount with a measuring cup for 1/4 . I sealed it up and realized the screen is not enough to hold the pellets. Since I can't use the sponges I had to remove them. I used some left over filter bag to cover the screens. I placed the return hose on the protein skimmer chamber, I connected the pump and turned on the valve. To my disappointment there was not enough flow to get the pellets to tumble. The next thing was to upgrade to a higher pump. I got the MJ 1200 and to my surprise the pump has a smaller footprint than the one I had connected to the reactor and not to mention more flow. I'm pretty satisfied with results. I dosed some micro bacteria to the pellets to speed up the process and now just have to wait a week to increase the bio pellets for 1/4 cup Link to comment
