Jay Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 This looks intresting. If I had not already bought 2 phosban chambers I might have got this instead. Keeps everything in the sump instead of outside.

R-3 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ahh thats kinda nice no pump! One less thing to run. I wonder how effective they are. Seems like they would work rather well. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snorkelwasp Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 you can run your phosbans in sump if you want to...just put them in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah this is just a little cleaner and easier to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later Ryan How can this have no pump? I see a stub at the bottom that looks like a hose fitting. In order to get a fluidized bed there needs to be water flow. I was just starting to look for phosphate reactors. I saw one kinda like this on another website. I will need to look closer at this to see if this is the type of thing that I want. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You can do the same thing with a canister filter and the best part is the pump is built into it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Oops yeah you need a pump I thought it was one that it just flowed through I guess thats what I get for responding at Midnight. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich I don't have a canister filter, but I do have lots of little powerheads just waiting to be used. A canister filter would be more money than one of these anyway. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy-S Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 They are not reverse flow they are designed to just drain from the top down while it sits in your sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 They are not reverse flow they are designed to just drain from the top down while it sits in your sump Quote from the "click here for a closer look" The Simplicity Chemical Reactor can be operated in two distinct modes: MODE 1 - fluidizes up to 8 oz (225 g) of media at flow rates up to 100 GPH (378 LPH), and MODE 2 - up-flows through up to 16 oz (454 g) of media at flow rates up to 500 GPH (1893 LPH). It sounds like mode 2, up-flow, is a "reverse flow" otherwise how does it make a fluidized bed? dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Look around you can find used ones for cheap. I personally have 2 of them laying around that I need to get rid of.
