What one to buy? Im comparing 2 filters???

What one is better?

I am buying a filter and cant decide what one I want. The two little fishes phosban reactor 150 here .... http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=TL4311

Or this one from Kent. Its the Kent Marine Phos Reactor
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=KM9331

Has anyone used both of them and have a preference? I hate making decisions like this without being able to hold the units in your hand. Its the risks you take buying online.

Thanks everyone

Oh yea.....I got moved and only lost a few of my pets. They are all still being housed at the LFS till my tank cycles again.
That was 350 miles in the back of my truck driving 75 MPH while it is 30 degrees outside. Thank god for styrofoam shipping coolers and heat packs.

Jason and I have the first. It's a nice unit!

Great Matt, Thanks!

My sister is asking for christmas gift list for me. I will add this to it along with the Corvett and the house in the Bahamas. What pump did you use with it? I would think that a slower volume pump would be best.

Thanks again

The Phosban reactor has changed since Matt and I got ours. It's much easier now. They eliminated the 1000 nylon screws needed to close the unit and now have a nice twist lock system. Also the fittings for the tubing is much improved.

I've never seen the Kent unit.

I used a Maxi Jet 400. It worked fine.
I think J used a 600.

 

Yeah..finally they got rid of those darn screws! My thumb and pointer finger are thanking Julian Sprung as I type...haha. Plus the inlet and outlet pipes are flexible and can rotate 360 degrees for more versatility.

Ive used the Phosban reactor and liked it. The Kent looks the same to me. I dont think you can go wrong with either.
