Carbolitreactor and Phosphatereactor

We are fortunate to have at our disposal, an outstanding selection of chemical filtration media to confront the equally amazing number of issues our captive systems tend to encounter. What seem to be scarce are thoughtful solutions for incorporating these media into our existing aquarium filtration systems. Enter the Aqua Medic Bypass Filters, one liter capacity inline wonders to house the media of your choice. They are easy to fill, trivial to hang or mount, and very effective. Aqua Medic offers these bypass filters in two handy varieties. The Phosphafilter comes loaded with our Antiphos media to remove algae causing phosphates. The Carbolitreactor is packed with our highly active Carbolit carbon for quick stripping of organics and medicines, even for use as a long-term biological filtration. Of course, each bypass filter can be used later to effectively integrate any chemical filtration media that may be useful in solving issues as they arise.

Carbolit Reactor & Phosphate filter Tips and Tricks

  • Always intitiate flow from bottom to the top.
  • When using the Carbolitreactor version for removing organics or discoloration, the Carbolit should be replaced every ten days
  • The Carbolitreactor can be used for long term biological filtration, even denitrification if the flow rate is made sufficiently low
  • Use Antiphos to remove phostphates form freshwater aquaria.
  • Use Antiphos FE for efficiently stripping phosphates from reef aquaria where they can cause problematic algae blooms.
  • Aqua Medic Bypass Filters can be refilled with other types of chemical filtration media.
  • Use Hydrocarbonate as a media alternative for re-buffering the pH of Calcium Reactor effluent.
  • Do not exceed 80 gallons per hour flow rate through your Bypass Filter.
