    Rowa is the media itself. You can buy it at Premium Aquatics. (one of our sponsers on this site)

    I'm trying to remember what kind of reactor I have but can't. I'll check tonight.

    Two Little Fishes makes one about $40. I just added it to my tank today. Easy as pie.

    Bought mine through bayside wholesalers. But you can get them at marineland. Flow rate is adjustable by way of a valve that comes with the unit. I am still experimenting with mine. You don't want the rate too fast or the water won't be in contact with the phos reducing media long enough to have a positive effect. Under 90 gph is what I have seen suggested. :) It is rated for 150 Gallons. My system is bigger than that but I'm going to take tests for the next couple of weeks to see how it's doing. The unit is actually quite small.
