    I use the modded BRS reactor. Its been 5 months now, no issue.
    If you wanna run more than 400ml of pellets with the BRS BP reactor, Id recommend the mod.

    2 BRS Reactors. I have to clean the strainers every 4-6 weeks.

    I thought the 3 little fishy was for phosban only? I looked at those initially but am holding off until I get more info. Thoughts??

    The 2 Little fishies reactors are not as well built as the other reactors listed. I believe they are just a modified version of there Phosban reactor. For the money I would spend a little more on the Reef Octopus or save some money and go with the BRS reactor. The mod listed looks like a good idea to help with the clogging issue.;)

    i would recommend getting a reactor thats meant to run pellets. i tried the mod route and wasted a lot of money. finally bought a aquamaxx bio pellet reactor and am without issues. and do not have to open it to clean screens, who needs more tank maintenance.
