It's one Ace made for me. I used a mag7 on it and a ball valve. I am selling it because cleaning a prefilter once a week is too much work for me. :) It's a great reactor, and works well after I made the plate holes a little larger. After that the flow rates were uniform. Apparently alot of people have that problem, even with manufactured units.

I am rebuilding my system here very soon, and shouldn't need any BPs.

Is that the prefilter on the pump or in the reactor? Was this one able to hold your 200 gallon steady?

On the pump. What happens is detritus from the sump enters the reactor and clogs the holes in the bottom plate which in turn causes areas of uneven flow. The reactor is big, and with 1000ml of pellets it held it steady easily.
