Recirculating biopellet reactor is a novel design from Reef Dynamics

4

The recirculating biopellet reactor was bound to happen sooner or later, but Reef Dynamics (formerly Euro Reef) is the first one out the gate with a working model for an adjustable, self propelled biopellet reactor. Just like a calcium reactor or recirculating protein skimmer, the design of the recirculating biopellet reactor means that the biopllets can be churned at full bore while only having a modest flow or trickle through the biomedia which is especially helpful if you want to match the outflow from the bioreactor to the intake from a protein skimmer.

Unlike the diminutive biopellet reactors from CPR, Reef Dynamics recirculating biopellet reactors are built for aquariums with 135 gallons up to 1000 gallons and although they don’t quite slip discretely into the sump, their design is particularly well suited to external use.

    Seriously?  That looks like a total DIY hackjob… but I guess when your skimmers are no longer considered leading edge you throw away the collection cup and add screw cap and reuse your old stock in another “innovative” way

    I don’t know about the DIY but it does look a lot like they retrofitted the old Euro Reef protein skimmer body.

    Well with the exception of the cap on top of where the skimmer collection cup goes everything else looks easily obtainable parts from a hardware store
