Anybody have any experience with chaetomorpha reactors similar to the one pictured? This is a Cleartides reactor made in the UK. Do they work and if so how well, pros and cons along with any other information you may have. Thanks. Specification. A360/200 (200gals/ 880l). For removal of phosphate and nitrate from Marine and Freshwater systems. This algae reactor is a purpose built device for the successful culture of chaetomorpha to remove phosphate and nitrate from your aquatic system. The reactor uses a central positioned led light that provides efficient light for the algae to grow. The lighting is provided by a 12v LED contained in a quartz sleeve. An aluminum heat sink is used up top to tranfer heat away from the reactor chamber. The reactor also includes PVC Unions fitted to both inlet and outlets... for ease of maintenance. For the USA, a plug adapter will be supplied to match. These reactors are designed as a free standing unit (pressurised). They can be placed in cabinet.. in or out of the sump.. or whatever suits your setup. Pump Requirement: 1000lph - 1500lph Algae Capacity: 7 litre Dimensions (mm): Height: 700 Footprint: 165 Column Dia: 150 Hosetail Dia: 20
looks like a straight-up copy of the A.R.I.D. unit. I hear mixed reviews, most are good, the biggest complaints I've heard is the price and the customer support (from ARID that is)
Looked at it (something similar) last year but could not find anyone local to me using it I could use as a reference. Expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Suposedly they work quite well, there is a guy that has used it with great results, ARID E18 reactor (Phosphate Control!!!) - Reef Central Online Community
