I've been holding off on DIY CO2 because I have been looking for a reactor. Well I found one on aquabid...not sure if it would be good or not. I'm on a tight budget, so spending $50 on a reactor is not something I want to do. I know the phrase "You get what you pay for", but what about this reactor?

I guess you can't really tell how it will work unless you actually try it. But does anyone have any comments on it?

Here's the link to it.

edit: I assume I will need a powerhead. Am I right?

Hi,
This is one of several styles of reactors. To its plus,
it is an external reactor. Mounted vertically under the
tank in the cabinet, you can connect the output of your
canister filter to the top connection and then plumb the
lower connection, the output, to the top of your tank as
the filter return.

If you are not using a canister, then Yes, you would
need some sort of pump and filter to power it. If you are
using a power head, you would want a sponge filter on the
pump input else the small holes in the reactor would
eventually become clogged.
