    Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a good dual reactor ( phosphan and carbon). for my 50G aquarium. I was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions?
    I am not very familiar with reactors and the like.

    I am also going to get an Auto top of. I was looking to get the Tunzen brand. Is this a good kind?

    the only 'double reactor' i would try is the spectrapure one. Brs reactor work ok, but you need different flow for GFO/Carbon/Pellets and the BRS can easily clog the way they are plumbed. Best thing I ever did was cut mine in two.

    so you think it might be best to just buy two separate reactors?
