I wanted to get some feedback from any of you that may currently have one of these hooked up or have had one in the past.

Thanks,
Jenn

Mine has been running for over a year and tank is clear except for a little cyano once in a while.

Alex - you are ordering a few? Is the tank that bad? LOL :-) Wish I had known you were ordering them, I would have gotten one as well. Been thinking about getting one for awhile now.

I would love to see a pic Josh. How does it work for you?

I just turned an old calcium reactor I had into one.
I didnt think the unit would work that great but had all the needed parts to make an awesome phosban reactor.
MJ 200 pumps in the bottom, through 2 screens and flows out the top back into the sump.

Seems to be doing good. Will probably change the media type out soon.

Theyre $35, which is a good deal for what you get. Media runs another 13.99.

how would you hook one of these up to a DAS tank? It's not drilled so we don't have a sump to plumb it to...

It can hang on the tank ... but keep in mind a phosban 150 is rated at and can hold media for up to a 150, hence Phosban 150

What does DAS stand for?

I believe it stands for Dutch Aquarium System which is interestingly enough based in Waxahachie, TX, not Holland.

I also have a DAS with glass bracing that runds completely around the inside of the tank so it may be a little tricky, but pretty sure I can make it work.

Do you have a fuge or sump? It doesnt have to go on/in the tank.

It has a 4-chamber sump/filter area, but one has a pvc pipe fixed into it (dunno what for) and the others have 3 sponge filters. I could remove one of them though. Great idea! Thanks.

BTW, nice avatar Pete.
