Blade Hybrid Submersible Algae Scrubber Reactor Small 10 w/Refugium LED – Adaptive Reef

Description

The Adaptive Reef x AquaIllumination (AI) Hybrid Refugium Algae Reactor is a device designed for nutrient export in saltwater aquariums. It is particularly useful for reef keepers who may not have space for a traditional refugium in their sumps.rrReactor Dimensions: 4.75” W x 13” L x 10.25” H (with lid)rInput – 1/2” Barb Fitting – Output 1” BulkheadrStand Optionsr 2.25” Stand: For fully submerged user 10” Extension Legs: For external use (out of water column)rRated for 350+ GPH (tested up to 2500GPH)Pump Recommendations: Sicce Syncra 1.5 or Axis 40Recommended for aquariums 60+ gallonsrrKey features and benefits:rrVersatile Design:It can function as either aturf scrubberfor growing denser algae like turf algae or amacroalgae reactorfor cultivating algae such as Chaetomorpha.rSpace-Saving:It allows you to contain algae export in a reactor, freeing up sump space for other equipment.rEasy to Use:rrWater is pumped into the bottom and flows up the sides before draining back down over the algae.rThe flow rate is adjustable and self-regulating, ranging from 100-1000 GPH.rIt comes with two mounting options for either submerged or external installation.rA removable internal basket makes harvesting algae quick and easy.rrrOptimized Algae Growth:rrPowered by an AI Blade Refugium LED light, which provides a horticultural spectrum of red and blue to promote algae growth.rThe white interior reflects light to further enhance growth.rCan be connected to a controller like the Mobius MXMI or Neptune Systems for customized schedules and light intensity.rrrClean & Efficient:rrSealed, compact design minimizes light spill and prevents unwanted algae growth in the sump.rThe waterfall design in turf scrubber mode helps create a sheet of water for optimal algae growth.rrrEasy to Maintain:rrThe removable basket makes harvesting algae simple.rA detachable screen under the lid aids maintenance.rA glass protector on the AI Blade helps keep the light clean.rrrIncluded are two mounting options to suit a range of setups:rr2.25” Stand: Use submerged for internal filtration.r10” Extension Legs: Raise the unit above water for external or above-sump installation.rrHow to use:rrInstall the Reactor:Place the reactor in your sump using the provided stand for submerged operation, or plumb it externally using the extension legs and bulkheads.rConnect the Pump:Attach a pump or manifold to the barb fitting at the bottom of the reactor to provide water flow.rChoose Algae Type:Decide whether to grow Chaetomorpha or turf algae within the reactor.rConnect the Light:Power the AI Blade LED light and set a schedule using the MyAI or Mobius app.rMonitor Growth & Harvest:Regularly check algae growth within the reactor. Harvest the algae when it fills the chamber, ensuring not to remove all of it at once to prevent nutrient spikes.rrThis reactor is a natural method for controlling nitrate and phosphate levels in your aquarium, promoting a healthier reef environment.”,”subjectOf”:[{“@type”:”CreativeWork”,”video”: {“@id”: “VideoObject_AUjv8XCeGsE”}}, {“@type”:”CreativeWork”,”video”: {“@id”: “VideoObject_nr4fho3GRp0”}}] }
