    It's nice but it gets clogged easily

    Do it. I just got mine a month ago. Took 1min to put together also super easy to service.

    Hate mine, as Gordo says it clogs really easy an you will spend a lot of time cleaning it.

    I use one, I like their singles better then the dual, just make sure use a bigger pump then the maxi jet 1200 that is recommended or it will clog a lot. I like it a lot more with a bigger pump.

    I've had mine online for 2 months. I have it hooked up to my return pump (mag 12) on my 120 and haven't had any issues with clogging yet.

    I've had mine running for over a year and have been happy with it.  Mine is also hooked to my return pump; its a mag 12 also.  It has clogged a four to six times, but never so much that flow completely stopped.  When that happens, it has been time to change the carbon or GFO anyway.  I do clean out all of the sponges every time I have it apart; maybe that helps.  The cartridge that go inside the reactor changed to a new design late last year.  I think I like the old style better, but the jury is still out.  I've only been trying out the new style for a couple months on my GFO side.

    I plan on pluming mine into return pump also..  I want to take the plunge to control my Nitrates and Phosphates better.
    Thanks all for the heads up. I think I am going to just try one and see how it goes. Someone has got one to sell me so I am going for it.
    Thanks again
    Kyle
