This is an excellent condition/lightly used (1 month) Tunze 3181. Good for harvesting macro algae (best is Chaeto) for nutrient export. I used it for 1 month. Decided I prefer having a refugium so I could have other critters in there too, but this works fine if you need to save space/don't...
HI all,
I am about to install an algae reactor (Pax Bellum).
The first step is to decide what type of algae I should use in the reactor.
The second question is where I should include copepods in the reactor.
Please advise.
In this video I discuss growing algae with a focus on the RAIN2 Algae Turf Scrubber.
In my opinion, there is no better way to keep nutrients in check, and combat algae in your display than a properly size refugium, algae reactor or algae turf scrubber.
I bought this reactor and never even hooked it up once, so it is in brand new condition. I’m currently taking a break from the hobby and need to move some of this equipment that is taking up space. Asking $400.00 shipped to anywhere in the continental US.
Selling a used MBR127 Reactor. About 6 months old, works perfectly but no longer need it. Cleaned, boxed, and ready to ship tomorrow.

I have a BRS Dual Media Reactor that I’m running on my 45g at the moment. I’ve been toying around with the idea of modifying one of the reactors to be an algae reactor but have a few questions.
1.) Is this a feasible / good idea?
2.) Does it matter if the algae reactor was in the 1st or 2nd...

Need help choosing an algae scrubber? Just ask! We've got one to fit just about every tank.
Has anyone tried this? I haven't made the reactor yet (diy) but whenever I put cheateo in my fuge (high, low or medium flow) it always slowly dies off, but when I put caulerpa in it explodes so I was thinking of putting it in the reactor. Thoughts? I've never had a sporilation issue, but if I...
Hello All
I've been on the site for awhile, posting, asking questions of you and chatting but I have never set up a tank thread, this is not a new build, I've had this tank for over 5 years. It's gone through several changes, some good, some bad, I've tried most systems from full Berlin to...
I'm in the process of picking up all new equipment for a 180. I have a Trigger Systems 39 sump, but don't want loose chaeto if I use any at all. I was looking on BRS at their bigger Skimz Algae Reactor, which has a quartz sleeve placed off center to one side and it's an upflow, but the water...
