Just wanted to say how much I like the company NextReef. Their media reactors have got to be some of the best in the industry.
I bought a Nextreef reactor first and a Little Fishies second. What a disappointment the TLF reactor was compared to the solid construction of the NextReef! Definitely worth the extra money.
Even better yet: customer service. When I had some questions in regards to modifications for a specialty application they went out of their way to share their own findings and even provided me with parts to do the conversion.
I think NextReef reactors are fantastic and their customer service is unbelievable. I ♥ NextReef!

Tell me more as I was going to get the large TLF phosban reactor for the new tank.

Edit- Well googled them and liked the mr1 xl. Is that what you got? Can you explain a little more on what made you like them more than TLF? Thanks

I think the main difference right away is the fittings on top. So flimsy on the TLF. The connections kept falling off. Very annoying. Like comparing a cheap toy to a real piece of equipment. I have the MR1. It's already bigger than the regular TLF. I'm not sure how it compares to the larger TLF size wise.

here's a review by reefbuilders. They probably can describe it better than I could:

I've got the MK1 and love it too! Very well constructed and I've never had a problem w/leaks or the hose fittings.
