    I run the dual chamber unit from BRS with GFO and Carbon. I run a Maxijet 1200 and it's great.
    Dual BRS GFO and Carbon Reactor - English
    Either way you go you will find it a great improvement over your current system

    Something to note; chemi pure is a lot finer than carbon so the sponge in the reactor you have a link to might not be fine enough. hard to tell. all you would have to do is put it in a bag inside the reactor

    Ok, yeah the chemi pure I buy is the 10oz variety that comes in a media bag. You just open up the container, take it out, rinse and use.

    Now I see my LFS has the two little fishies one and it would be the same price as the ebay one. I will probably just buy it from my LFS - they are great people and I like to support them instead of some unknown guy.

    do you mean this one Veed?

    you probably will think of this anyway, but just in case
    dont remove the sponges even though your media is in a bag, the fine mesh of these media bags gets clogged really easy IME and that reduces flow through them and thus the medias effectiveness

    steve - thats the one. Thanks for the tip too - although I hate sponges it may be beneficial in this application. I just took at the sponge from my overflow. Gets clogged too easily to be worried about it all the time.
