    I have a seaclone that I would rather do something with instead of throwing it away in a landfill. is there some kind of reactor or something I can turn it into or is it just what it is now. A piece of junk. I don't want to mod it to make a better skimmer as I am getting a PM Bullet 2. Any one know anything?

    I think a phosphate/media reactor is a good idea. You will have to mod it, but you already have a pump and intake, you will need to create an output and a way to get the media in and out. It could be a nice little project.

    I would like to make a phosphate reactor. Now I have to figure out how to do it.

    Well on another note I will be seating up a fuge so I don't know that a phosphate reactor will be needed. Am I correct.

    If you're setting up a fuge, I don't think it is needed. You're going to find your balace of macros to waste anyway. Adding a reactor would be the thing to do if you did not have enough room to house a sufficient amount of macro to take care of the problem. I would hold off on that until you have your fuge taken care of.

    I still have my old POS Jebo skimmer with it's POS PH ready to go in case I need it for a smaller tank (I like to have extra stuff around in case of emergency). But that is just me. In fact, a lot of my old equipement came in handy when my 75 started leaking and I had to transfer to holding tanks. Just a thought.

    No I am not familiar with it.
