I was wondering if anyone has used bio pellets in a reactor in the chamber after their skimmer.
I have an AIO tank (DIY) and have a spare chamber that I am looking at putting a biopellet reactor in. However, this chamber is after my skimmer and before my return pump chamber.
I have read a few...
I’ve been keeping a 75 gallon mixed reef running with a canister filter, 2 hob skimmers, 2 opposing gyres, and a copious amount of live rock as the only means of filtration and circulation. I sometimes run carbon or phosphate media by hanging a sock around the outflow of the skimmers although I...
So I'm completely new to reactors and got an IM reactor in a recent tank pick up. I guess my question is, what is the difference between media reactor vs a calcium reactor? Can you use one for the other or are they completely independent?
I have a Waterbox 20 Nano running a Tunze Algae reactor. The return for my reactor feeds into the same chamber as my return pump. Loose bits of chaeto are flowing into the chamber and eventually cause my return pump to clog (even with a cover on the intake). I was thinking a simple solution...
I run a bag of Maxspect Nano-tech Bio-spheres in my sump - Important to keep these clean, ideally these would be in my return pump chamber but i'm pushed for space - Any reason not to have them in a fluidised reactor fed from my return pump? I know they need to be kept packed tight to prevent...
The pump running my UV and Algae reactor has died, water hasn't run through either for approx. 5 days - but they are both full. Is there any concern from this stagnant / stationary contained water when I connect the replacement pump? Necessary to strip everything down and empty or just connect...

Ive been looking to improve my 30 Gallon mixed reef recently and I've come across lots of people recommending carbon and lots of people saying it slows or stops coral growth.
Do you run carbon and if so did it effect your coral growth and do you use a reactor or a sock, whats the difference...
I bought this Aquamaxx to use as a chaeto reactor. I used it for a couple months and decided to really clean it out after so much coralline and detritus built up at the bottom. I soaked it in vinegar water for a day and then rinsed it out really well and doing so I noticed these cracks in the...

Alright, where to to begin. I have had a 80 gallon with a 30 gallon sump tank running for almost a year and a half after a restart. I got dry rock and dry sand, which is a mistake on my part, and I am on a fun roller coaster right now. Around 5 months into my restart things were going okay...
I have this AquaMaxx Reactor just sitting around:

I should be able to use this with the appropriate media, yes? I'd also like to control the air line via the Apex. Do you...
Hello fellows reefers
I will be setting up my chaeto reactor on my 40 gallon this Friday. The reason is I am trying to lower phosphates without using chemicals. I do not overfeed and do a regular water change once a week and even after changing out around 70% moving home I still have some...
