Aquavitro Element M Media Reactor

• Brand: Aquavitro
• Element M Media Reactor

The element M Reactor is a filter media reactor that allows for the use of virtually any type of filter media in either fluidized or non-fluidized flow - including fine particle media such as resins. The element™ M Reactor allows for excellent efficient reaction with consistent even flow from the bottom of the reactor to the top. Using the adjustable internal plate, filter media can even be separated to allow for various uses within the same reactor. The element M Reactor features a by-pass valve which allows for fine flow regulation for even the most delicate media such as beaded resins.

Easily Removable Inner Chamber
The inner chamber can be removed without full breakdown making it easy to clean, change or top off media

Movable Separation Plate for Various Volumes of Media
The separation plate can be moved up and down which allows you to run any amount of media in a compacted fashion, preventing sheering of media

High Capacity Chamber
The reactor chamber can hold up to 1.2 Liters of your choice of filtration media

Sensitive and Versatile Flow Regulation
Offers highly controlled flow rate for running any type of media at any speed (even resins such as Seachem Purigen or purfiltrum)

Polishing Mechanical Filter Finish
The included addition of a fine filter sock finish acts as a fine mechanical filter so no media particles escape into system. It also prevents micro bubbles from being released into the aquarium to irritate corals

Powerful External Pump
Allows for higher column flow volume with more contact time and surface area. Allows for easy maintenance of the pump at anytime.

Versatile Sump Placement
The element M and element Z have added versatility in positioning the return spillway. So depending on the size of your sump and placement of other equipment, you can always find a good fit.

Setup Versatility
The element Ca has the flexibility to be setup in three different configurations for managing the effluent and CO2 connections. This is a key highlight of the element's modularity and versatility.

Option 1 - simply utilizes the connections as described in the instruction manual included with your element Ca Reactor.

Option 2 - reverses these connections. Choosing between the two will be largely a personal preference, but factors to consider are how convenient CO2 regulation is setup for the system or where the effluent line might be better located. Additionally, in practice, some might find better management of CO2 recovery in one or the other.

If CO2 recovery is of primary concern, then Option 3 might be the better choice. Using this configuration, the effluent tubing connects directly to the base and no CO2 is lost. However, it is still beneficial to direct the effluent flow from the tubing into a protein skimmer such as the aquavitro division series or to a point where there is consistent water surface disruption, ensuring that any possible CO2 is driven out of solution or that low pH water has its pH increased in value before flowing back to the aquarium.
