Old School Filtration System

[unchaotic]

Anybody want to save me some research time and tell me if any of this old filtration system is worth keeping?

The heater module looks neat but I'd have to be able to replace the heater element. I believe the module next to it is a UV filter and I was told the bulb was burned out. I'm guessing the chemical filtration had carbon in it. So the mechanical filtration module must have a physical filter in it.

So is it junk or is some of it worth keeping? I'm guessing junk.

I had a few of those modules... the UV was very good
They work, I’d pass, but I’d like to see what some of the ole timers say....

Seems like it would be more issues than worth.

heater "reactor"? Sounds like only someone with a very specific use case would need that

I think he was running sumpless at the time, might have even been freshwater.

The power converter/transformer for the UV looks terrifying, almost like Dr Frankenstein would have a use for it, lol.

Huh, they still make versions of those too. I remember really wanting some of the smaller version a long time back. Not something of any use for me these days though.

It's what we used at the LFS 25 years ago.

You can use the mechanical and chemical reactors as cryptic zones for biodiversity.
