Via Aqua And 2 little fishys Reactors Question????

[Civicdemon]

Ok so my question is Why are these to Reactors Rated at Difrent Volume tanks ??? The 2 little fish one is rated at 150 gl and the via aqua is rated at 75gl, they are both around the same size from what i have gathered, wouldnt it just depend on the pump ???

Any One ????

Whats the diffrence between the 2 little fish?

Do you have links to the two reactors? I couldn't find any info on what pump the Via Aqua one comes with (if it comes with a pump). I would say that the difference is in the pump size.

Well actually the @ little fish one does not come with a pump. From what i have read. But if the pump is the case and i already have a pump would it really matter witch one i go with ???.

ViaAqua Poly-Reactor (Multi-Media Reactor)

No, I don't think it matters which one you go with. But if it were me, I'd get this one:

BRS GFO & Carbon Reactor ? Dual - Carbon, GFO & Media Reactors - Reactors - Bulk Reef Supply

It's around the same price, and it's a dual reactor, so you can run GFO and carbon at the same time.

Isnt that one for a rodi unit. Im getting one for the sump

The external housing for the BRS GFO reactor is the same as their RO/DI canisters, yes.
But the internal assembly is different to accommodate the correct flow of water through the GFO media.

No. This is a reactor for carbon and GFO (phosphate removal media) that goes in the sump.

ahhh ok Yeah now that i look at the inserts where you put the media it makes sense.
