Comments: I own an aquarium maintenance company and I currently have 8 of these running on various client tanks. I've never had one issue with them and the build quality is very satisfactory. Its solid acrylic and I have never had an issue. They require less modification then the two little fishes reactors which makes setup a breeze. I've only had one leak and that was after two years of use, and the gasket was worn. All I needed to do was replace the gasket and its been great ever since. considering its use, 2-3 years is probably all you will get out of one gasket. maybe 5 if your lucky... not bad. overall, great product. I've been using them for around 3 years now and have been very happy. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Don't Buy! by JOHN FLANAGAN

Comments: I have both this reactor and the two little fishies reactor...this one is junk! the construction is super cheap, it was like they cut the fittings with a hack saw, no ends were square. the o-ring was oversized for the groove and does not seat properly which may have lead to the lid coming undone which flooded my house. It had to be modified to ensure it would not come undone unexpectedly, again. for the money and the construction , buy the two little fishies one! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This thing is junk the elbow joints leak returned it got a second one and the same thing the elbow joints leaks. For the money I would expect this thing not to leak from the start. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Phos Reactor Review by HANS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/4/2008 from BOTHELL, WA UNITED STATES

Comments: The build quality of this product is marginal (the first one a received leaked at one of the glue joints) but for the money it works well. I made new filter disks out of 50 micron filter material since those supplied are rather course. The design makes it hard to load (when material is wet from rinsing). The cost to manufacture this reactor is likely $4-$5. There is room in the market for a better product but for $40, this is the best out there. MD was very good about the return. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

OK... by DF

Comments: One of the elbow joints leaks even though they are glued. Not a big deal but I will have to add some epoxy to keep it from leaking since I hang it external. I specifically bought this model because of the glued elbows that take the water back over the tank. I figured it would have less chance of a leak. So of course mine ends up leaking anyway. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great

Good unit...good price by JAY REFFNER

Comments: The Kent Marine Phos Reactor is well built and a solid unit. I would recommend it to anyone. The only thing I don't like is there should be finer sponge disks available. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Excellent Product by PHILIP JONES

Comments: I've been using it with Rowaphos-works great to keep phosphate at undectable (with Salifert phosphate kit) levels. I prefer this design to that of the similar "two little fishies" product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
