How Does It Fulfill Your Needs?
Whether you're tackling high phosphate levels, excess nutrients, or harmful organics, the MR series reactors provide tailored solutions for different tank sizes. With multiple media compatibility, they cater to various filtration needs:
- MR-80: Best for smaller tanks up to 300 liters where space-saving is crucial.
- MR-100: Suitable for medium-sized tanks (up to 500 liters) with moderate bioloads.
- MR-120: Ideal for medium to large aquariums (up to 800 liters) requiring higher media capacity.
- MR-150: Built for large, heavily stocked reef tanks demanding maximum filtration efficiency.
How to Get Started?
- Setup: Choose an appropriate media reactor based on your tank size and filtration needs.
- Install: Attach the reactor using the included hanging bracket or place it securely in the sump.
- Add Media: Fill the reactor chamber with the desired filtration media (GFO, carbon, or biopellets).
- Connect the Pump: Ensure proper flow by connecting the included or recommended pump.
- Monitor and Adjust: Check the media fluidization regularly and adjust the flow rate as needed.
When to Choose Each Model?
- MR-80: Choose this model if you have a small reef or freshwater tank and need an affordable, space-saving solution.
- MR-100: Opt for MR-100 if your tank requires a larger media capacity with external or internal mounting options.
- MR-120: Ideal for intermediate to advanced aquarists managing medium to large tanks with higher filtration demands.
- MR-150: Best for professional aquarists or large public displays needing robust filtration in high-bioload environments.
