Review: 👍👍thumbs-up - Everything works perfect. Easy to put together got the reactor running in probably 10 minutes. The only thing I don't like is that the unit is to big, other then that thumbs up. Fyi I looked at some of the reviews about the pump problem and I don't think that's the case. Attached is a video showing how is working perfectly, the GFO needs to tumble gently you don't need an earthquake inside the reactor. So far everything working good 👍 I recommend the unit.
Review: Buyer beware - Works really well however here I am 1 year later and one of the screws is rusted and I now have contamination in my tank that has cause all my soft coral to close, my Montiporia to bleach and some of my shrimp to die….

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could you put sand in this and use it as a fluidized bed filter?**
A: I do. I put filter floss under the sponges to prevent sand from falling to the bottom. Used pool filtration sand and branched off from my primary pump with a valve to adjust water flow. I don't use the included pump but I don't see why you cant. Works great for me!

**Q: Is the pump that it comes with a submersible or not**
A: I'm confused how any pump that's not submerged would even work? That's kind of the point of the pump, to be submerged in water so that it pumps into the media...

**Q: What are the exact internal diameter of the hoses?**
A: From what I can measure, its 7/16 in. inner diameter and 1/2 in. outer diameter

**Q: What size tubing I can use for the aquatop Mr 20 to  replace the clear tubing that came with it with a black tube ?**
A: 7/16 inch inner diameter, 1/2 inch outer diameter

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by M***T on April 4, 2026*

I bought this product, and the pump was very loud at first. I contacted customer service, and they sent me a new pump, which solved the problem. I’m also satisfied with the product—I’ve been using it for two weeks, and it hasn’t leaked even a single drop of water.
