What algae reactor could i use on WB 35.2 aio

[chrisgold]

What algae reactors are people using on there aio tanks ?

 

[chrisgold]

Was thinking of going with this anyone know if it will fit

I have an AIO as well. Just wondering where you would put that and how would you hook it up?

I have the Tunze reactor in my cabinet of a 120 gallon AIO, running the pump in the back chamber. I plumbed it up to the back of the tank with pvc, it works well. Depending on height, you may need the more powerful pump power supply. I am running mine with a Sicce 3.0 pump until I can find the power supply. The reactor is too large to fit in a back chamber.

Thanks for reply. Do you thinknit would work if input it behind the tank at the same height?

It says it can be used in a sump or external i was wondering the same i presumed it just could sit by side of tank with the tubes in the back chamber

I’m starting to think I am posting too much about this product but it works really well for me so I vote for the pax bellum reactor. It’s can stand or hob looks great and seriously grows cheat. But it’s pricey. i have it on my nuvo 40 aio

Yeah i have looked into it mate its sweet but it’s like 500ish£ compared to 280ish£ for the tunze. And apart from the compactness of the pax i cant see a plus side?

interesting I payed $499 for it, i though it might be less in pounds. For me the the plus sides are the heat sink does a great job of keeping the heat from the light from getting in to the tank, and it really does a great job in growing cheato, it looks really cool but is it worth the money? Depends on how much money is worth to you.

It will work if you have a way to mount it. A shelf next to the, or behind the tank would work. If you wanted on the floor by the tank, it would work too. You would just need to be concerned with the head height of the pump and plumbing over the rim of the tank. I think as long as you have enough pressure from the pump, you could place it anywhere. Just make sure that you tighten the screws on the lid and not rely on the magnetic lock.

This is good info. That Pax $$ looks great. I'm still struggling with how it's plumbed. It may be obvious but im missing something LOL.
I was considering putting a Fuge in my middle chamber but would prefer a reactor.

Plumbing it is very easy. The input is on the bottom and the return on the top. I have a small 200gph pump in the second chamber pushing water in and the return in to the center chamber with the main return pump is. I also put a quick disconnect on the inlet so I can pop the reactor off and not get anything wet.

Marine Magic - TURF ATS skimmer / Algae scrubber has a hang on glass model....bad part, located in hong kong...seems well built, controller, float for overflow,
