Ask question

Reactor with screens for filter material (quartz sand). The water flows from the bottom to the top (upstream) through the filter. On the sand grains bacteria are growing, that oxidize harmful substances, for example nitrification. The water flow is adjusted with the inlet ball valve.

Advantages over other packed bed filters:

intensive mixing of the material
micro-organisms are able to settle down on the whole surface of the filter sand
inactive bio-films are flushed out automatically
constant degradation capacity
no rotting places inside of the filter
effective hold back system for the filter sand
easy handling
connections with PVC tubes or hoses (adapters)
nearly maintenance-free
and of course

Required accessories:

water inlet with enough pressure (bypass from aquarium main pump or extra pump)

The current replacement type is the FBF100

With a bypass from the aquarium main pump or with an extra pump the feed water arrives to the system. The water flow is adjusted in that way, that the complete filter material is in motion. After a while bacteria settle down on the filter sand and clean the water. Too thick biofilms are sheared-off continuously - the bacteria reaches the aquarium as bacterial plankton.

The out-coming and cleaned water flows back to the aquarium.
