I just got one myself. I was just going to use some chemipure elite (it has carbon and phosphate removal media in it).
How do you like yours so far ?
Have you done any modding to it ?

Its not to bad, would have liked to upgraded the lights to a hallide for SPS corals but worked out a bit to expensive. Had it for 8 months and no major problems with it as yet. I have added an extra powerhead and also had the red sea fan kit. Have you done anything to yours?

I will probably set it up within the next few weeks. I will be placing my vortech on the right side. I might upgrade the lights to a 150 mh with two 39 watt T5'S.

Is a phosphate reactor really helpful? worth the money?

Probably the best 40 bucks you'll spend. I have two and daisy chain them (1 with rowaphos and 1 with carbon). It is powered by a maxijet 400.

I was thinking of one as well but I only have a few fish and my tank seems pretty clean....I am always looking for a way to get my water a little cleaner...
