what should i get first?

[Cheeser]

a uv sterilizer or a phoshate reactor?

Phosphate reactor. Most people don't use a UV sterilizer. They are very optional. :)

 

[Cheeser]

can a phosphate reactor help prevent dinoflagelates? or cyano?
also...is a phosphate reactor the same as a phosban reactor?
what is a good brand i should buy for my 65?

 

[little_fish]

it can help with both and phosban is a type of phosphate removing media but I dont think you use it in a phosphate reactor. I believe a phosphate reactor uses GFO

 

[Cheeser]

i was thinking about going with the Kent Phos reactor.
and as for media i saw new york steelo reccomend rowa plus?
does that sound right?

 

[Bifferwine]

Do you have a carbon reactor? If not, I recommend a dual reactor from Bulk Reef Supply. They are cheap, well-built and easy to use.

 

[Cheeser]

no i dont...should i get a carbon reactor instead of a phosphate reactor?
