TMC Reef Bio-Gro S Algae Reactor is advanced, compact reactor specifically designed to grow macro-algae. These macro-algae’s can be used to reduce unwanted nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate from your reef aquarium and also help improve water quality.

The TMC Reef Bio-Gro S Algae Reactor is designed to grow marine macro algae's such as Chaeto (Chaetomorpha). with this reactor you can be sure to get the correct PUR rating that macro algae require without taking all the room up in your sump for a traditional Refugium. By adding this it is a sure way to help reduce Nitrate's and Phosphate's in your marine aquarium that lead to horrible Algae problems.

The method is that macroalgae will out-compete the smaller nuisance algae’s, helping to keep your aquarium lovely and clean. Simply throw away the excess macroalgae when the reactor is full, leaving a small piece on each plate to start the process again. A lovely natural, self-sustaining solution to nitrate and phosphate reduction.

Versatile compact design allows the reactor to be installed internally in a sump or aquarium or externally as a stand-alone or ‘hang-on’ reactor

TMC Reef Bio-Gro S Algae Reactor easily accessible for simple harvesting of algae NB: For best results operate the REEF-Bio GRO during periods when the aquarium lights are switched off*PUR (photosynthetically usable radiation) will vary based on species of algae kept, however spectrum peaks are designed to mimic the photosynthetic needs of most algae’s.

Main Features:

1x Reef Bio-Gro per 4ft aquarium up to 500ltr

The TMC Reef Bio-Gro reactor is not supplied with a pump. We recommend the TMC 1500 litre pump

The Reef Bio-Gro has a lighting tube with algae culture plates attached that runs down the middle of the body.

Inside the lighting tube is a double-sided LED lighting board using AquaRay technology. The 9w dimmable LED light has a unique spectrum, tailored specifically for the optimum growth of macro algae (large multicellular algaes such as Chaetomorpha sp, not the green water, single celled plankton algae). This means that the light spectrum is not just the usual red/white mix used in other models.

The Reef Bio-Gro's compact size means it can stand in a sump, hang on the inside or outside or can be run pressurised separately from the system, in any position desired.

Also included is a self-adhesive light shield which optimises the use of available light from the LED lighting board and helps reduce light spill into your aquarium or sump. This can be cut to create a viewing strip should the user wish to monitor algae growth.

The AquaBar dimmer (code: 1780) or the AquaBar 2 channel controller (code: 3799) can be used to control the Reef Bio-Gro light.
