Accel Aquatics Biopellet And Filter Media Reactor

Product details

The ACCEL AQUATICS BIOPELLET AND FILTER MEDIA REACTOR is a fluidized-media reactor designed to keep biopellet and other particulate filter media in constant, turbulent suspension. In practical terms, it helps you maintain thorough water-to-media contact so the media can work effectively—typically by using a lower-flow approach inside the reactor rather than relying on extreme, blast-like flow patterns. The reactor uses an internal flow accelerator (penductor) to generate strong turbulence, plus an inverted conical bottom to help reduce clumping and settling. A separate aquarium water pump is required to push water through the reactor, and flow is controlled externally (for example, with a valve or controllable pump) to match the media you choose.

Features:

• Internal flow accelerator (“flow accelerator”/penductor) creates very turbulent movement to help suspend media
• Inverted conical bottom helps prevent media clumping and settling on the reactor floor
• Requires a separate water pump, with flow controlled using a valve or controllable pump
• Designed to use a smaller pump for fluidization compared with traditional up-flow fluidized reactors
• Compatible not only with biopellet media, but also with other media that benefit from fluidization (such as GFO or carbon)
• Available in multiple sizes to match different aquarium setups
