A MUST FOR EVERY SUMP by JOHN DELLAMANNA

Comments: This little guy is awesome. It takes up no room, has multiple compartments for different media mixes. 1/2" tubing connects to the reactor but the little pump you will purchase to power the reactor does not take 1/2", nor does it come with fittings for a secure seal. Tired of my non-glue nmake-shift solutions, I went to Home Depot and purchased the next larger size hose. It fit snugly. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Simplicity by CRAIG

Comments: I have been trying to rid my 240 gallon reef tank of green algae and cyanobacter for more than a year. I have replaced my reverse osmosis unit with a RO/deionizer unit, made frequent water changes, and still have not seen any improvement. I read that phosphate can leach out of reef rocks. After reading articles at MarineDepot.com and other websites, I decided to buy the Magnavore Simplicity Chemical Reactor. I liked its' ability to use various filtration media and ease of use. Simplicity truly is its' middle name. I unpacked it, placed one screen at the bottom of the canister, filled it with ROWAphos absorbing media, placed the upper screen, screwed on the top and placed it into my sump. I connected it to an Eheim compact 600 powerhead with 1/2" vinyl tubing and was filtering water within 5 minutes of opening the box. It has been almost two weeks in use now and I am starting to see improvement in the algae growth. I have been extremely pleased with this purchase, as I have been with everything else that I bought at MarineDepot.com Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This fabulous device allows you to easily and without taking up much real estate have active filtration of media in your sump. In my case I filled my canister with Chemi-Pure Elite and attached a little Maxi-Jet 600 pump. I was having problems with brown diatoms in my reef and they disappeared in 2 days after adding the Magnavore. It takes a minute to set up -- I highly recommend this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
