Thinking about buying a new biopellet reactor. What have you had good experience with and would recommend?
There is definitely flaws with the design that I would like to get rid of.After owning 2 top name brands , I don't thing there is a good better or best. If your diy is working don't waste your money .
I looked it up and already used a similar design reactor. Didn't really like it.Did you look into the minimax ? Just a suggestion
That probably would be a good option, its just that biopellets have worked for me since I started reefing and just wanted to continue using them.why don't try to dosing ....Vodka ? Much easy to control, you need one dosing pump (BRS 1.1 ml, you may find used in forum) and timer.

i agree with greg45 i have also used 2 brand name one was reef dynamics and didn't work any better than the 2 lil fishes one, have you tried red sea no3 pox4 i have been using it for a lil while now and like the results so far
I actually had an old bubble magus reactor which had the pump at the bottom and blows up. Made a lil plate which spirals the water kinda like the marine biosystems. It works wayyy better. I'm pretty happy with the mod.The marine biosystems reactors are built from the ground up as biopellet reactors. These are not gfo or carbon reactors with a special nozzle, attachment or screen added to make them biopellet reactors (like the avast). As such, they are one of the only reactors which address the specific issues associated with biopellets. I know some very experienced LFS's who've replaced all their biopellet reactors (in store and in customer tanks they manage) with these because they are biopellet specific. The design differences are that significant.
