Why Choose the Small Media Reactor for a Reef Tank
A media reactor reef tank setup doesn’t need to hog space to perform. This model handles activated carbon, GFO, or biopellets with ease. Its plug-and-play DC pump includes five flow modes, so you can fine-tune media performance without wrestling with extra equipment.

When every inch in the sump counts, this aquarium media reactor steps up. The removable chamber design means you can swap out media without tearing the whole unit apart. From nanos to tanks up to 40 gallons, the reactor gives you strong filtration without the clutter found in larger systems.
