Here is the sump. Its a 65 gallon with 2 holes drilled into the right side. I hate bio balls but I have them in there to cut down on the bubbles from the skimmer. As you can see, my macro supply is low but that will get topped up soon

Thanks. As for the reactor, Im still learning about it myself. The concept is, is to have a chamber that is air tight you fill it with r/o and add kawlk. There is a powerhead on the bottom to mix the kawlk 3 -4 times a day. As the sump requires more water a float switch kicks on a pump in the r/o reserve, sending water into the reactor at the bottom. A kawlk mixture is then forced out the top and into the sump.

As for how well it works...I guess time will tell.

I bought it. It is a DIY though. I'll send you some mail.
You may want to contact Stephane on the board as I am pretty sure he built on. Could be wrong though but Im sure he has one.
