Lifereef Media Reactor and
Bio-Reactor
CARBON, GFO/CARBON, PHOSPHATE, ANY MANY OTHER MEDIA CAN BE USED
IN THESE REACTORS TO ENHANCE/TREAT WATER QUALITY and the BIO-REACTOR FOR
PELLETS
Simple and easy to use, only three removable
parts and no special tools or wrenches.
The Lifereef Media Reactors can be added to
your Lifereef filter system. You can also use these with other sumps with the
addition of a custom rack built for your sump, see below. Most Lifereef sumps
have an Accessory Rack built in as a stock feature to hold up to three
media/bio reactors.
Just add them as needed: one, two, or all
three! If one reactor is used it can be supplied with water from a small
submersible pump. Or you can run two or all three off one larger pump.
If you want to monitor flow through these
they accept the Apex Flow Meters too!
Don't have a Lifereef Sump, no problem! We
can make a CUSTOM MEDIA RACK your sump! Your sump won't be cluttered with cords
for pumps, multiple hoses, fittings, etc. Clean, Simple,
Organized!
Features and Specs for Media
Reactors: (Bio-Reactor Features and Specs further down)
- Neptune/Apex Flow Meter easily installed
for flow monitoring using your Apex
- Solid Acrylic construction, not cheap
injection-molded brittle plastics
- Slip right into all Lifereef filters and
sumps
- Custom Rack can be built for other sump
makes (see below)
- More efficient contact time between media
and water than short squatty reactors. More efficient use of
media
- Holds carbons, resins, phosphate and
nitrate reducers, mixed media
- Holds approximately 114 ml, 5 cups, 1
liter
- Directs water through, not around, the
media providing the necessary "flow through" most media
require.
- Water enters top and exits out bottom,
must be used in-sump
- Will not break down media as fluidized
reactors do
- No gaskets, screws, o-rings, or threads
to seize up due to particulate contamination
- Simple and quick removal and refill, FAST
and EASY!
- True-union ball valve for adjustment,
shut-off, and reactor removal
- Includes reactor manifold assembly (2 or
more media reactors for manifold use)
- Re-usable for a lifetime! These have been
a Lifereef product for over 28 years!
- Includes inlet and outlet foam filter
elements and flexible mesh retainer disc
- 3.5" diameter x 12" long, 1/2"
input
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.
Custom Accessory Rack, built to fit your sump
CUSTOM ACCESSORY RACK TO HOLD THE MEDIA REACTOR
AND BIO-REACTOR IN YOUR SUMP along with hose and probe mounting areas. An
all-in-one solution to all the stuff in your sump! Consolidate your
multi-canister brand and multi-pump mess into an organized work of superb
filtration and probe/dosing management!
This is
just one example of a custom rack made to fit a sump. Accessory Racks can be
fabricated to hold as many media reactors and bio-reactors as your sump width
allows. The one shown below fits inside a 13" width. The Accessory Rack also
has probe mounting locations with thumb-screw retention. If space permits more
holes will be put in for whatever you may want to use them for. Cylinders and
the Bio-Reactor remove individually using single union ball valves and manifold
assembly which is INCLUDED in the setup, or, you can grab the entire assembly,
pump and all and take to your work area for service!. Can be powered off your
system pump or small submersible.
NOTHING ELSE COULD BE AS COMPACT, AS EASY, AND AS ORGANIZED AS
THIS!
