    I have been trying to covert my 90 gallon to a ZEOvit tank. Along with all the additives I need to start, I received this Magnet ZEOvit reactor a few days ago!

    (When it comes to ZEOvit, it is primal to "shake" the inner canister daily, preferably twice, so the reactor releases the "film" which is coral food into the tank. Having magnets at the bottom of the reactor is very helpful. )

    Upper outer lid gasket (it was hard to put it on, kinda had to tweak it)

    My very first impression is:
    -Way higher quality than i expected, not just its only $100 shipped, but personally id consider paying a lot more :)

    I was very anxious about the seal/weld/glue over the magnets, but as you can see in the pics, its SOLID!

    One thing tho, that this reactor was supposed to hold 1.5L (1,500ml) of ZEOlite (media), but itd hold maybe 1,000ml+. (I wont be needing more than 1,000ml so, it works for me)

    Thanks Chris. Im happy with the quality. I ordered it from Fish-Street, received it within a week. If I were to go with the authentic Korallen Zucht brand, it wouldve been $450+.
