Water level stability is the key for consistent skimmer performance.\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the inner water level at about 3\/4 the way up the skimmer body by opening and closing the valve. It will take some time (usually 3-5 hours is good but for the first time setting it up this way, leave it set for 12-24 hours) to allow the skimmer to adjust to this setting and build a solid head of foam (you should only see large air bubbles within the neck). \n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter you have the inner water level and the skimmer has adjusted to this setting, you can begin to adjust the valve to obtain your choice in skimmate. The key is to make very small adjustments with the valve and leave it alone for a few hours to adjust. You may make adjustments over a period of a few days but after the initial setup, you will notice that the skimmer will begin to skim consistently and there will be little to no tweaking to do after that point. Remember opening the valve drops the inner water level and you will get a collection of dryer\/darker skimmate, while closing the valve raises the water level giving you a wetter less concentrated skimmate.\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep up with the maintenance by cleaning out the venturi and skimmer neck.

There really is no set depth that the skimmer needs to run in. The two things you need to maintain is to keep the pump covered with water at the \"Minimum\" mark or 1\" above the highest point on the pump and to keep the water level in the sump below the water outlet pipe on the skimmer. You want to see the water flowing out of the skimmer and drop down into the sump water.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat impact does the sumps water level have on a skimmer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor in-sump skimmers, sump water level stability is the key to optimal skimmer performance. We at  Reef Octopus suggest that the water level within the skimmer compartment of the sump be level at all times by strategic placement of baffles or maintained by a quality auto top off unit. Skimmers can be set in a range of water depths and vary from system to system.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"SectionHeading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkimmer Overflowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my skimmer keep over flowing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are several common reasons a skimmer will overflow.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Reaction\u003c\/strong\u003e - Some chemicals react with the air that the skimmer produces and causes the skimmer to over-produce foamate. Chemicals known to cause skimmers to overflow are red slime remover, medications, reef\/frag putties (Epoxy Putty), frag glues, water conditioners, dechlorinators, stress coat, fresh filter socks, newly mixed salt, bacteria additives, as well as other dosing media. In order to remove these chemicals from the water column, we at Reef Octopus suggest that you do several 20% water changes over the period of a month and add a good amount of fresh activated carbon to the system and change out every week until the skimmer has returned to normal operation.\n\t\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater level in sump\u003c\/strong\u003e - It is important that you place your skimmer in the proper water level.

It is also common for salt creep to build up in the port and will need to be removed manually by scraping it away. Make sure you inspect the air venture, silencer and air hose for any debris or salt creep deposits. Also, make sure the air hose is not bent preventing airflow into the pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"SectionHeading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLittle to No Foam Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMy skimmer was working great, now there is no foam head or anything being pulled out of the water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is often an indication that you may have a skimmer that is too large for your size aquarium or you have no organic waste to be pulled from the water. Once the skimmer pulls out all the waste matter, the skimmer sits idle until the waste level builds back up to build a healthy foamate.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nAnother important thing to remember is that whenever you put your hands in the aquarium or feed your tank's inhabitants, you introduce oils into the water column, which will break surface tension in the water causing the skimmer foamate to fall. It is very important that you clean your hands before working in the aquarium and remove any oils or soaps. Using fresh activated carbon helps keep downtime to a minimal.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nAdding chemicals can cause a reaction to your skimmers production of foam. It is best to shut your skimmer down while using any chemicals to treat algae or disease in the aquarium and follow up with large amounts of activated carbon to absorb the chemicals prior to starting the skimmer back up.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMy new skimmer is not producing any foam or not collecting any skimmate in the collection cup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAll skimmers require a break-in period before any stable formation of foam will be made or start rising within the neck of the skimmer. When first starting your new skimmer, set the water level in the skimmer low by keeping the outlet valve all the way open.  Do not attempt to raise the water level in the skimmer for at least 2 to 3 weeks or you will run the risk of the skimmer overflowing and flooding the surrounding area. Please be patient during this break-in period. Your skimmer is working but it needs to run for some time to allow all residual oils on the acrylic from production and handling to break down before it will build a steady head of foam. Running fresh activated carbon may help with the break-in cycle.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat effects does organic concentration have on a skimmer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe concentration of DOC in aquarium water has a major factor in the skimmer's performance. It is easier to separate something from water with a higher concentration than water with low DOC. Basically the skimmer can only pull out what is present in the water pulled in by the skimmer pump. The skimmate collection, color and concentration are dependant of what is fed to the tank, the bio-load and the setting of the skimmer. To adjust a skimmer properly, users must be patience and regulate it several times over a period of a few days.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"SectionHeading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I clean my skimmer body and cup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen you see that the organic waste is covering the walls in the upper portion of the skimmer body, it is time to clean your skimmer. Wipe the walls of the acrylic down with a soft sponge or cotton cloth and fresh water. Never use any chemicals to clean the skimmer or any acrylic products. You should also clean the collection cup and empty all the wastewater at this time. If you are gone for long periods of time, use the drain on the collection cup to fill a reserve container to hold the waste liquid.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction of Protein Skimmers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nProtein skimmers are applied to most saltwater aquariums to remove certain organic compounds, including proteins and amino acids by using the polarity of the protein itself, from the water to stop most of them from decomposing into nitrogenous waste. Because of the intrinsic charge, water-borne proteins are attracted to the air-water interface. Protein skimmers work by injecting numerous tiny bubbles into the water chamber, which present an enormous air-water interface for the protein molecules to cling to. The more tiny bubbles reside in the chamber, the more proteins it adsorbs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nProtein skimming is the only way of physical filtration that gets rid of the organic compounds before its decomposition, lightening the load on the biological filter and improving the water's redox potential.\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Mfg# 110 INT 4\";","offer_id":48509099737331,"sku":"79697","price":236.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mfg# 150 INT 6\";","offer_id":48509099770099,"sku":"79698","price":254.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg_79697_mfg_image_b.jpg?v=1771033196"},{"product_id":"reef-octopus-classic-sss-internal-protein-skimmers","title":"Reef Octopus Classic SSS Internal Protein Skimmers","description":"\u003ctable cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpace-saving in-sump skimmer for marine aquariums up to 210 gals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh performance protein skimmer boosts aquarium water quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylish compact design accommodates sump setups with limited space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Octopus Space-Saving Skimmers (SSS) reimagine supplemental filtration with style.

Nitrate and phosphate are nutrients and can only be removed by water changes or by having some organism consume it. In many aquaria, without plants as competitors, algae will consume the nitrate and phosphate resulting in a tank full of unsightly, messy algae. In many marine aquaria cyanobacteria, which grows like a red to black carpet over the entire aquarium, will consume the nitrate and phosphate. To grow algae and bacteria you need carbon, nitrogen (nitrate) and phosphorus (phosphate). Studies show that many aquaria lack the right form of carbon for bacterial growth but NP-Active Pearls are a natural carbon source beneficial bacteria can use. As these good bacteria grow, they remove the nitrate and phosphate from the water basically out-competing the algae for the nitrate and phosphate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e What are NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e NP-Active Pearls are a pure, specially made biodegradable carbon for use in aquaria. They are polymers with the technical name poly hydroxyalkanoates commonly referred to as PHA.

But many of the other bio-polymers, whose purpose is really to make plastic products, are only 60 to 70% pure. They contain fillers, additives and other chemicals so they can be molded into forks, plates or other things. Not only do these bio-polymers not supply as much biodegradable carbon for the bacteria as NP-Pearls but the chemicals and fillers are left behind in your aquarium! So with PURE NP-Active Pearls with no fillers etc you get more carbon for your money and no nasty residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How do NP-Active Pearls work?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e NP-Active Pearls are carbon and energy that bacteria store for later use. But bacteria need phosphorus and nitrogen as well. In the aquarium environment, bacteria use NP-Active Pearls to assimilate phosphate and nitrate in the water to grow, producing bacterial biomass, which is than easily harvested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How are NP-Active Pearls different than other brands of Bio-Pellets?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e NP-Active Pearls are PHA based and 100% pure. Other bio-pellets are made from such polymers as hydroxybutyric acid (PHB), polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutyleneadipate-co-butyleneterepthalate (PBAT). In addition, other bio-pellets may not be as pure as NP-Active Pearls. The main use of all biodegradable polymers is to make biodegradable products such as forks, knifes, plates etc. In order to do this, however, the polymer must be combined with binders, fillers and other things. NP-Active Pearls are free of all these impurities - they cannot be used to make biodegradable products. Other bio-pellet companies do not disclose the source or purity of their pellets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How many NP-Active Pearls should I use?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e The recommended amount of NP-Active Pearls is 1\/4 cup per 20 gallons of aquarium water (3ml per gal). When first using NP-Active Pearls, DrTim's Aquatics suggest starting with 1\/3 dose or 1 ml per gal (1\/4 cup per 60 gal) and over a few weeks increasing the amount of NP-Active Pearls in your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How should I use NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e NP-Active Pearls are best used in a reactor or similar device where the pearls are kept in constant motion. It is important to maintain sufficient water flow as the bacteria do consume oxygen. If clogging occurs, clean the reactors and rinse the beads before re-starting your reactor system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Should I continue to use a protein skimmer when using NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Basically, bacteria are using the NP-Pearls to grow and converting the phosphate and nitrate in your aquarium to more bacterial biomass. Protein skimmers cannot remove phosphate and nitrate in their chemical forms but skimmers do remove bacterial cells. So by converting these nutrients into bacteria cells and having the skimmer remove the cells from the aquarium, you are effectively removing nitrate and phosphate. Without a skimmer, the bacterial cells will eventually die and the nutrients will be recycled in the aquarium. For small systems, without a skimmer, a good mechanical filter or pad that will trap the bacterial biomass is adequate, but only if you remove and clean the filter\/pad on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e How often do I have to replace or replenish NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rate at which additional NP-Active Pearls need to be added varies for each aquarium due to factors such as feeding amount, fish load etc. Generally, it is best to replenish your pearls every 6 to 9 months. NP-Pearls active pearls never need to be replaced unless your reactor shuts-off and the pearls turn black and produce an offensive odor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Should I continue to dose vodka when using NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e While there is debate about whether one should continue vodka dosing when using NP-Active Pearls DrTim's Aquatics recommend you discontinue vodka dosing. Both methods are adding carbon to your aquarium which is good but too much of good thing can be bad so it is best to choose one method and stick with that. Given that using NP-Active Pearls is easier than vodka dosing, DrTim's Aquatics, of course, recommend this method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ.\u003c\/strong\u003e Should I continue to use GFO when using NP-Active Pearls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Again a debatable subject. The process of the bacteria growing and removing nitrate and phosphate in your aquarium with external sources of carbon, NP-Active Pearls or vodka, is complex. However, the bacteria do need some phosphate to grow so using GFO and pearls can remove too much phosphate and stop the process. DrTim's Aquatics recommend using GFO with the pearls when the orthophosphate levels are above 1 mg\/L-P and discontinuing once levels drop below 0.5 mg\/L-P.\u003c\/p\u003e\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"450ml","offer_id":48509126377715,"sku":"78514","price":33.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"900ml","offer_id":48509126410483,"sku":"78515","price":66.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/p-78514-61602-61626-fish.jpg?v=1771033245"},{"product_id":"two-little-fishies-npx-bioplastics","title":"Two Little Fishies NPX Bioplastics","description":"\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium nitrate and phosphate removing biopolymer filter media\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally reduce aquarium phosphate levels with beneficial bacteria\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBacteria uses up nitrate and phosphate as it grows on the filter media\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse bioplastic media in fluidized reactor such as the PhosBan Reactor 150\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarness the power of nature to reduce aquarium nitrate and phosphate levels.

Phosphate is released from both gravel substrates and live-rock. Therefore, it is very important at the early stage of the aquarium to remove the phosphate immediately to reduce potential nuisance algae blooms.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRowaphos will adsorb phosphate, silicate, and arsenic and is entirely safe in both fresh and saltwater systems. It does not release any of the absorbed materials back into the aquarium even when fully loaded.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRowaphos only needs replacing when the phosphate levels in the aquarium or at the outlet from the canister filter start climbing. This indicates that the Rowaphos have absorbed phosphate to its full holding capacity.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring use of Rowaphos, you will see no ill effects. Additionally, if you are using Rowaphos in a saltwater invertebrate aquarium, hard and soft corals may grow up to approximately three times as fast when phosphate levels are below 0.015 ppm.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever wash Rowaphos for non-fluidized use.\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRowaphos must be kept damp at all times as its effectiveness is significantly reduced if allowed to dry out.

This method makes the entire media surface area available for adsorption from the water stream. Important: Take care not to over fluidize the media. When fluidizing Rowaphos, it is recommended to flush the media through in the chemical media reactor with fresh or reverse osmosis water to remove any fine particles that would otherwise temporarily discolor the aquarium. The fine particles are not harmful but may be seen by some as unsightly if it settles on the base of the aquarium or on rocks (Please note: This advice is contrary to that given for normal use in a media bag or canister filter where it is recommended that Rowaphos is used unwashed).\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Flush the Media:\n\u003cbr\u003eFirst place the media in the fluidized chemical media reactor and connect the reactor to a freshwater supply. Slowly feed water through the unit being careful not to over fluidize the Rowaphos. Discard the brown water that first exits the reactor. When the water starts to clear, switch off the water supply and carefully tip the reactor to remove any excess freshwater above the media. Connect the chemical media reactor to a pump and carefully turn on the pump. Adjust the flow rate until the surface of the Rowaphos just starts to move. Any remaining discoloration of the water will quickly disappear.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eRowaphos is a completely new filter material for eliminating phosphate.

Neither phosphate nor any other substances are released back into the water, even after full saturation. PhosBan is safe to use continuously in freshwater and saltwater aquariums and ponds. To avoid problems that occur because of phosphate accumulation, keep the concentration of phosphate below 0.015 ppm as P. This target is achieved easily by using PhosBan on a permanent basis. Use PhosBan immediately when setting up a new aquarium to ensure that PO4 concentrations never rise in the first place. With PhosBan, large fish populations can be maintained without PO4 accumulation.

Place reactor inside a bucket to catch any spilled water when you open it. If the return hose is located in the aquarium or a sump above the level where you are servicing the reactor, make sure that the outlet is not located below the water line in the tank. If it is, lift the outlet hose so that it cannot siphon water from the aquarium or sump. Separate the lid from the reactor (the hoses may be left in place). Pour the water from the reactor into the bucket. Remove the top dispersion plate and sponge. Take the reactor column over a trash bin and spill out the PhosBan media.

Water moves through it, not around it, allowing water to come in maximum contact with its highly porous binding sites. Greater contact between water and Matrix Carbon means more organic waste materials being removed before exhaustion. The result is cleaner, clearer aquarium water for a longer period of time. Treats twice as much water for twice as long as most activated carbons! Unlike conventional granular activated carbons, the unique spherical shape prevents compacting or channeling, and Matrix Carbon is very clean and nearly dust-free.

It will not compact and create dead zones due to restricted water flow and as a result, it will use up all available absorptive sites before exhaustion. Actual time depends on initial water conditions. In very dirty water, it may last as little as a few hours; in very clean water, it may last several months. In general, 3 - 6 months is typical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e You claim Matrix Carbon's spherical shape makes it a better carbon.

Water channeling is likewise characteristic of carbon pelletized as cylindrical pellets. Such cylindrical pellets were originally engineered for air filtration and have poor water hydrodynamics.

The process is simple: mechanical media traps solid debris such as fish excrement, sludge, uneaten food, or dust from your aquarium as water passes through. Debris-laden media can then be mechanically removed and rinsed or replaced with ease. This not only reduces the amount of solid debris in your water but prevents debris from rapidly clogging biological media and creating conditions that prevent efficient breakdown of waste.","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Eshopps Micron Bag Holder and Micron Bags - 4\"; Round Filter Bag (200 microns)","offer_id":48509153738995,"sku":"32906","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Eshopps Micron Bag Holder and Micron Bags - 7\"; Round Filter Bag (200 microns)","offer_id":48509153771763,"sku":"32907","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7\"; Rectangular Bag (mfg# 19048)","offer_id":48509153804531,"sku":"73742","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Eshopps Micron Bag Holder and Micron Bags: XLarge Bag Holder w\/ Bag (mfg# 11035)","offer_id":48509153837299,"sku":"73745","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Eshopps Micron Bag Holder \u0026 Micron Bags: Small Bag Holder w\/ Bag (mfg# 11025)","offer_id":48509153870067,"sku":"73743","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Eshopps Micron Bag Holder \u0026 Micron Bags: Large Bag Holder w\/ Bag (mfg# 11030)","offer_id":48509153902835,"sku":"73744","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg-32907-86184KZ.jpg?v=1771033287"},{"product_id":"aquaticlife-ro-buddie-3-stage-reverse-osmosis-system","title":"AquaticLife RO Buddie 3-Stage Reverse Osmosis System","description":"\u003ctable cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEconomical 3-Stage Reverse Osmosis unit priced right for aquarists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters tap water impurities that compromise aquarium water quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"verdana75pt\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact footprint allows easy installation for convenient aquarium use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n3-stage reverse osmosis (RO) unit boasts great hobby-friendly price PLUS compact footprint!

After the water is filtered by the RO Membrane there is usually a small amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) left in the water. In certain non-drinking water applications, it is important to remove the remaining TDS from the water. This is accomplished by filtering the water through a deionization (DI) resin filter that is charged with Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-). As the resin absorbs the TDS, it will change color. When all resin has changed color, it is time to replace the DI filter. Because the process of filtering the high quality water takes time, it is common to use a storage tank to collect filtered water, making it available on demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall footprint of the unit makes it easy to place under cabinets or in limited spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTwist-In cartridges for fast and easy replacement of filter media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTriple-sealed cartridges ensure trouble-free operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCompact design with pivoting cartridge heads is perfect for small spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMounting Brackets hold the unit securely while mounted in a convenient location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncludes everything for installation: Tubing, Water Supply Connectors, and Drain Connector. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 4 x 13 inches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum water pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 PSI\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested water pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 PSI\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum water pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 PSI\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal Water Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77°F (25°C)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout AquaticLife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAquaticLife manufactures an assortment of aquarium and gardening equipment and supplies; including light fixtures, RO\/DI systems, pumps, skimmers and filter media.

Simply place PhosBan or other media inside it according to the instructions. Don't over or under fill the column. Max 5 in (13 cm) of media, min 2 in (5 cm). When using only activated carbon, the entire column can be filled. PhosBan may be mixed with phosphate-free activated carbon. This can provide the necessary media volume when less than 100 grams (190 ml) of PhosBan is used. Do not place ball valve on the exit pipe. Restricting the flow on the exit pipe pressurizes the reactor and can cause leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe PhosBan Reactor 150 is designed with the upflow principle to achieve the most efficient use of PhosBan or other chemical filter media. By pushing water from the bottom upward through a dispersion plate, it forces an even distribution of water through the media. One reactor is for aquariums up to 150 gallons. Multiple reactors may be used for larger aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing the Reactor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnpack the reactor. Open reactor lid by turning counter clockwise. Check parts list to confirm that all parts are present. The reactor is supplied with all the parts needed to operate it except for the hose and pump. The pump used can be a powerhead, such as a Maxi-Jet, or the supply of water can be tapped-off of a circulating pump already in use on the aquarium. The pump should have 100-200 gph (380-760 l\/hr) capacity, although the flow must be reduced using the supplied ball valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the center tubes are not already glued to the dispersion plates, insert the end of the 9 inch center tube into one dispersion plate until it stops, and slide one of the sponges onto the tube so that it rests on top of the dispersion plate. Insert this assembly into the reactor column. It may be necessary to use tongs or a yardstick to keep the lower sponge resting on top of the dispersion plate when you insert it into the reactor column. Add about 1 cup of water to the reactor. Use a yardstick or tongs to push out the large air bubbles trapped in the lower sponge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1a. Adding PhosBan Media\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBefore adding PhosBan to the reactor, temporarily cover the top of the 9-inch center tube with a piece of tape. This will prevent PhosBan from entering the tube when you add it to the column. To minimize dust evolution, wet the PhosBan first. Use a large spoon or scoop to put the PhosBan into the reactor. After adding PhosBan to the reactor column, remove the tape from the center tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1b. Finishing the Reactor Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAttach the remaining dispersion plate onto the top of center tube. Insert the remaining 2-inch length of rigid tube into the top of the dispersion plate (if not glued already). Slide the remaining sponge on top of the center tube above the dispersion plate. Press it down to be sure it is sitting flat all the way around the dispersion plate. Inside the top of the lid there is a flat plastic washer and on top of it an O-ring. Check to be sure that the O-ring is seated properly. With the reactor sitting upright, attach lid on top of the reactor body by inserting the center collar (located on the underside of the lid) over the top of the center tube. Rotate lid on the threads until it becomes stiff (hand-tighten) to seal and close the reactor. Do not over-tighten! The flat washer allows slippage and makes it easier to open the reactor. It is otherwise not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Locating the Reactor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe PhosBan reactor can be seated upright in the cabinet, in the filter sump, upright on the floor below the aquarium or hanging on the side or rear of an aquarium. For hanging installations, use threaded bolt provided in the base plate to level it against the aquarium wall. Wherever it is located, the reactor must be upright and level to operate properly. To prevent any risk of back siphoning, the outlet of the water return hose should not be located below the water line if the reactor is located below the level of the aquarium or below where the return line enters the aquarium or sump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Connecting the Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAttach the ball valve to the soft 90 fitting on the input pipe (center-barbed connector on the lid). Connect a length of 1\/2 inch ID hose from the pump output to the ball valve. Connect another length of hose to the barbed fitting that slides into the soft 90 fitting on the water output pipe (outer hose barb connector on the lid) to return water to the aquarium or sump. It is not necessary to use hose clamps to secure the hose connections on the supplied fittings because they are barbed. It may be necessary to use a hose clamp to secure the connection to the pump. Do not let the weight of the pump pull the hose since this can cause a leak at the soft 90 fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Initial Operation and Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce the lid is securely fastened, the reactor is level, all of the hoses are securely attached, and the pump is located in the aquarium or sump, direct the return hose into a bucket, open the ball valve, and connect the pump to the mains electricity. Allow water to fill the reactor for 2 to 3 seconds and then close the ball valve to stop the flow. Partially open the valve slowly to about 20 gph to purge air from the outflow pipe and allow the initial dusty 1\/2 gallon of water to empty into the bucket. When the water runs clear, close the valve and reposition the return hose to feed water back to the aquarium. Adjust the flow with the ball valve so that the PhosBan granules are tumbling slightly at the surface. A section of clear water will be located above the granules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Maintenance Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout once per week open the ball valve for a few seconds and then return it to the normal operating position. This will stir up the media briefly and prevent caking or channeling. When changing the PhosBan, first shut off the pump that sends water to the reactor and close the ball valve. Place reactor inside a bucket to catch any spilled water when you open it. If the return hose is located in the aquarium or a sump above the level where you are servicing the reactor, make sure that the outlet is not located below the water line in the tank. If it is, lift the outlet hose so that it cannot siphon water from the aquarium or sump. Separate the lid from the reactor (the hoses may be left in place). Pour the water from the reactor into the bucket. Remove the top dispersion plate and sponge. Take the reactor column over a trash bin and spill out the PhosBan media. Rinse the reactor sponges with a strong jet of water. Never use soap or detergents of any kind. Reassemble the reactor per the instructions and follow the initial operation and adjustment procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.

Filtration always begins with a mechanical stage of waste particle removal as water is drawn through the foam that lines the perimeter of each basket. Subsequently, the flow proceeds through the central area of the three baskets from top to bottom, where it is filtered by additional mechanical, biological and chemical stages: the water is pumped through the media in the three baskets. Because you can use the media of your choosing at each level, you will be able to design a system that provides additional mechanical, biological and chemical filtration if you wish.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nTo achieve maximum effectiveness, Fluval FX6 offers three types of mechanical filtration; the external white foam traps the larger particles, the black foam traps smaller particles and the carbon foam provides an additional barrier to protect the pump. Chemical filtering media modifies the chemical characteristics of the water by absorbing toxic compounds (e.g. medicines, odors, and organic contaminants). Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the chemical filter media from clogging by macro and micro-particulate. Placing chemical filter media at the last stage of filtration will allow it to work best.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Media Basket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMedia that continues the mechanical capture of small particles should be placed in the Top Media Basket to purify and\/or remove particles before they can clog delicate pores of biological or chemical filter media. The Bio-Foam is ideal to remove small dirt particles that are not retained by the Mechanical Foam. In addition, this foam provides a large surface to accommodate bacteria colonies, providing a good environment for proliferation of beneficial bacteria and increasing the biological action of Fluval BIOMAX.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle Media Basket\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Middle Media Basket is a good place to establish the biological detoxification process. A lot of media types provide mechanical filtration and biological treatment, creating an excellent environment for beneficial bacteria to proliferate.

The results are the same today as they were then - crystal clear, ionically-balanced water that creates the perfect environment for fresh and saltwater aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1972 Dick Boyd moved his family to a new home, which would include a 3,000-gallon reef aquarium.

With this extension in place, the filter strainer is located nearer to the gravel line of your tank to pull water ripe with settling debris and fish and food waste. Plus, having water that is pulled from the bottom of the tank, ran through the multi-stage filter, and returned to the top water level of the tank creates the necessary, natural cycling of water beneficial to both your aquarium plants and animals. \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-Level Intake Strainer\u003c\/strong\u003e - also designed to easily slip-on to, and act as a coupler between, the Intake Tube and Intake Extension Tube. This mid-level strainer ensures mid and high-level water quality isn't sacrificed when the Strainer is attached to the Intake Extension Tube and set deep in a larger tank. The Mid-Level Strainer features a notched flow-adjustment valve to both regulate intake flow and let water near the top of the tank also enter the multi-stage filter process. Filtering water from the higher levels of the tank - where medications, food particles, and descending debris - is good tank husbandry. Plus, by allowing water from all tank levels access to the multi-stage filtering process at the same time, the BIO-Wheel filter aids in the natural mixing of tank water. This water mixing is essential to good water quality that helps regulate water temperature and oxygenation levels, while also preventing the \"pooling\" of high toxin levels and chemical tank maintenance additives within one level of the tank.  \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Containers and Filter Cartridge Expansion Slots\u003c\/strong\u003e - pre-formed slots throughout the filter chambers (four in the 400\u003c!---; two in the 280---\u003e) allow you to add as little or as much mechanical and chemical filtration as needed to suit your specific tank.
