Sea Systems or Brs reactors

[fidofence]

I have 4 Brs reactors and am thinking of switching to sea systems for the simple reason of I think they look cooler. How well do they work and how easy is it to change?

I've got two of them. Better capacity than the BRS reactors and don't get clogged like the BRS reactors. It's more work to change the media but I'm ok with that given the better performance and media capacity.
Bottom line, I like them better than my BRS and GEO reactors.

Look into the CoralVue reactors. They are sweet. Very well built. I have a SEA, BRS, and CoralVue MF2000 and by far the MF2000 is my pick.

only issue I had the the Sea Systems is the bottom pad lifting during use and pushing the media with the pad up the chamber. Simple solution...zip ties through the mesh and into the bottom feed.

Only real diff. I would see, as long as each holds enough media for your needs, is whether you have the floor space for the Sea Systems or not? The BRS reactors can be wall mounted, so they may have the advantage if space is at a premium. I use BRS reactors on one system for that reason, and use the Sea systems on my large tank.
