    Not sure if you're asking the public or Warner, but I'll answer. I really like the NextReef reactors...very solid, well built, and if you go with the SMR1, it is tinted acrylic to avoid algae growth. Large tubing (1/2" on MR1, 5/8" on SMR1) for easy flow. Many of 3reef sponsors sell them as well. Big leap compared to the BRS and Phosban reactors.

    I'll take all the advise I can get. Thank you for the recommendation. Obviously John's advice is much appreciated as well!

    Sorry for the slow response...

    I like the SMR-1 reactor... it works well.

    Jon, I have a question as well. I am currently dosing Brightwell's Bio-Fuel, and I believe I have reached its limit. I have some EcoBak ready to go, but wanted to know if continued dosing would slow the process. I know it will take weeks to see the benefit of the pellets, and I don't want to stop dosing for that long, as I fear some of my SPS might not like it a bit more "dirty" in there.

    Thanks!

    For the SMR-1 reactor, what is the suggested ml of ecoBak to use? Is this determined by the size of my system?

    and 1000 ml will fit in this guy and still tumble well enough? I'm just trying to figure out how much ecobak to buy if i get this unit.

    thanks. i think i just asked you the same question on another thread so just ignore it. :)

    It sounds like the bacteria builds slowly so i would think you would be okay adding your intended amount right away. However, i don't have any expereience with one of these.......yet.
