    Update:

    I decided to put some GFO and Carbon in my new Atomic reactor. I really like the design of being able to remove the top disc(looks like a clear bubble plate) in order to add the media to the reactor. This just firmly slides back on the down tube when you are ready to put the top back on.

    Here are some pics with the media inside. Some with LED glow, and a few without.

    Added a 2 little fishies ball valve to standard 1/2" eheim tubing and am using a mini jet 606 pump

    Also added a mesh bag on the return line as a precaution. I love rox carbon but it is so small, it likes to escape if it can.

    And also, it is easy to still see the media inside. some of these pics are a little misleading to that. So far I am stoked at how great this reactor is, and the cool concept of the glow. Excellent price for high quality USA made acrylic reactor.

    Well it's been a week since adding the GFO to my new Atomic reactor, and I only put in a quarter of what was suggested, and my phosphates have dropped from 0.08 to 0.05. Loving this thing!

    It was down temporarily as they were adding some new products and tweaking it a bit. It's back up now.
