Detailed Comparison: Mini 70 vs Mini 80
Ensure crystal-clear water and a balanced aquarium ecosystem with the Bubble Magus Mini 70 and Mini 80 Media Reactors. Both models are designed for fluidizing various filter media, offering an efficient solution for reducing phosphates, nitrates, and organic waste in marine and freshwater setups. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced aquarist, these reactors provide customizable filtration options tailored to your tank’s needs.
Why Choose Bubble Magus Mini 70?
The Mini 70 stands out with its larger capacity (0.7L usable volume) and integrated 680 L/h water pump. This model is ideal for aquarists who require a higher media volume and flow rate for larger tanks or heavier bioloads. Its user-friendly design includes a “base release mechanism” for easy access, making it simple to refill or change the media. The lack of a central stand-pipe allows for better media fluidization and easier maintenance.
Best Use Case: Medium to large tanks requiring heavy-duty filtration with phosphate removers, bio pellets, or carbon.
Why Choose Bubble Magus Mini 80?
The Mini 80, while slightly smaller in capacity (500ml), offers excellent fluidization capabilities for phosphate removal, biological filtration, and bio pellet usage. Its compact design makes it suitable for smaller tanks or those with limited sump space. The model comes with two configurations—one with a sponge and one without—allowing greater flexibility depending on the type of media used. Powered by an 8.5W WP600 pump, it provides efficient circulation with lower energy consumption.
Best Use Case: Smaller tanks or aquariums with moderate filtration needs, where space-saving is a priority.
