Great reactor for the money. 
| Installation and Operation |
I found this really easy to install and operate. I have it hanging on my sump. And I either run GFO or GAC in it. All you have to do is adjust the flow with the provided ball valve. I clean mine once a month, no matter what. So I only put in a months worth of media, I'm sure you could go longer but I feel that the sponges would get clogged if you waited much longer and that would impede performance.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
It definitely does all it claims and I think is even more versatile. You can run almost any media that should be fluidized in it. Not only that but after a few months of running GFO my tank lost a large percent of nuisance algae that I had. I tried just running media in a bag, but it didn't have anywhere near the affect of running it in the reactor.
|
| Value for money |
This is a great value for the money. Some reactors are expensive, and while they may have some better qualities, this reactor is more than adequate in most situations. The other reactors in this price range are not quite as well put together as this one.

| Liked about it |
Its easy to install and has a nice compact size. Its also easy to fill and change out the media when the time comes. Its just a few threads, not a bunch of bolts to take off. It only takes a few minutes, which is always a plus.

| Didn't like |
The only thing I wish was better was that you have to make sure the lid is on just right or it can leak a little. Its not to bad, but you do have to be careful when you screw the lid back on to make sure the gasket is seated properly.

Great
| Installation and Operation |
Easy to install. Make sure you have enough tubing of the appropriate diameter.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
If you wash your media correctly before adding it to the reactor and you have your flow rate low, then this reactor will work fine. If you do not wash or if you pump is too strong, then the media can break apart into a fine dust!

It is clear, unlike some homemade PVC ones.
Easy to dissemble.
|
| Didn't like |
I never like the ball valves that ship with these small reactors, they seem a bit cheap.

Two Little Fishies Phosban reactor.

I have 2 of these in series on my sps tank. One running Phosban the other with activated carbon. Very easy to setup and get running. They are a great way to run media remotely or in sump. |

Upflow design, well build and fairly cheap. Also it can run any granulated type of media.

A great little reactor with a number of uses, I've used it with carbon and phosphate media. I'd highly recommend this for almost any media. |

TLF reactor
| General |
Overall this is a great product. As I mentioned, it would be great if TLF came out with a larger unit. This seems to work well for moderately sized tanks. For my 300-gallon system I run two of them for po4 reduction media and a third one for carbon. |
| Liked about it |
Easy to set up and aside from tubing and the pump comes with everything you need to get it up and running. The flexible and movable fittings on the top make installation a snap.
|
| Didn't like |
It would be nice if TLF came out with a larger reactor. You also need to be sure not to over tighten the screw on top so that the o-ring doesn't become pinched and slip out of its retainer.
