Bought this reactor after some disappointment with a recently purchased Triton Blue Dolphin. While installing found a couple of things that would suggest upgrading. 1) The hose supplied is too short for larger applications and also weak enough to kink in numerous places. 2)Feeling it necessary to upgrade the hoses to normal thicknesses I then found the clamps provided to be too small and the pump outlet fitting too small to fit snugly into the 1/2" hose.
On the plus side I am getting very good media tumbling, IMO superior to that of the Blue Dolphin at a much better price. With a little upgrading I think we would have a winner!

AquaFX is proud to release a new addition to the lineup with our very own fluidized media reactor. These high capacity reactors are made of an industrial grade acrylic with CNC machined parts and pieces. Precision machining means tolerances are kept very tight and true – which allows the acrylic bond to be very extra durable and strong. The hardware AquaFX uses on the lid requires NO tools and the multi-screw design is much like a submarine hatch, making for a very tight seal. No annoying threaded canister or twist tops to deal with. The AquaFX reactor is rated for any fluidized media that you may need (GFO, Carbon ect). Since these fluidized reactors are larger you can pack more media inside, meaning that you will have to change the media less often saving you time and frustration. This reactor includes all tubing, clamps, fittings and laser cut sponges. Pump not included
