What exactly is this?

A reactor which can be used for carbon or Bio Beads or phosphate resin

Okay thanks!

Is this it?

Lifereef Bio-Reactor with reverse-flow fluidization

​

(for plastic bio-pellet media only)
Need a bio-reactor, well this will be the one to use!

Features and Specs:

• 3 1/2" diameter x 12" long as well as custom lengths.
• Will hold up to 1000ml (1 liter) though less is usually required, custom sizes will vary of course.
• Water enters top, travels down central pipe, then directed upwards through toroidal distribution disc for even water distribution and efficient use of the bio-plastic media.
• Top exit can be plumbed any direction to allow water to be returned to your sump in any location.
• Extremely easy content removal: Unscrew bottom plate, empty out contents!
• Minimal parts for ease of cleaning: Main Cylinder Body, Bottom Baffle Plate and End-Cap Assembly, Upper Perforated Media Retainer Disc, and an O-Ring.
• Large 1/2" exit size, less clogging from excess bio-mass buildup that can clog smaller sizes
• No foam disc or super-fine screen to clog with excess bio-mass. A removable perforated "free floating" upper disc allows water to flow easily, won't clog like other reactors
• Use with many popular bio-pellets

Cannot be used for iron-oxide GFO type filter media
CAUTION: The use of any bio-plastic media filter has risk. Should a bio-reactor clog, then unclog by itself it can crash (KILL) your entire aquarium due to the release of hydrogen sulfide. Many other reactors have already done this due to the small orifices and valves assoicated with their design, and complexity. The Lifereef Bio-Media Reactor is simple in design has less chance of clogging. All in/out fittings are 1/2" size, nothing smaller. If the others don't tell you this, they are not telling you all you need to know for safe use of these products.

Yes that's the one!! Thank you! I had a feeling carbon wouldn't work with it. A bio reactor, neat.

Yup, that be an upflow reactor supposed to "tumble" the media and keep it fluidized.

Works great as a doorstop!

Carbon is one of the highest uses and will indeed work with it.
