What is it?

The ARID Reactor is an acronym for Algae Remediation Illuminated Device. It is a specifically designed life support system for use in aquariums and aquaculture. 

The ARID Replaces:

GFO, Chemical absorbents, Bio-pellet reactors, Zeo-vit, Carbon dosing, De-nitrifiers, Lanthanum, Chloride dosing, Refugiums (as nutrient export), Algae Turf Scrubbers, Protein Skimmers. 

What does it do?

By harnessing photosynthesis the ARID biosorption system can drive down phosphate to ideal levels for SPS coral growth without the need to buy/replace chemical media. This bio-filtration system works on the principals of "bio-stoichiometry"; or balanced control of products and reactants in a closed biological system by use of a bio-medium as nutrient export. In this case algae and bio-film. With the ARID system, specific nutrients and ratios can be controlled with precision. By running on a reverse daylight cycle from your tank, pH & dissolved O2 is kept higher and stable over 24hrs. Sealed from atmospheric gases, the ARID system depends on dissolved CO2, which keeps CO2 levels and organics minimal. Nitrates are rapidly depleted and may need to be dosed.

This unit comes with starter solutions 30ml Fe+Mn and 125ml N+Mo. Algae and Pump are not included.

Specifications:

Recommended size Aquarium: 20-150 US gal.

Recommended Flow Rate: 150-200 gph

Chamber Material: Cast Acrylic, features integrated hang-on bracket

Footprint: 6.5”

Height: 16.375"

Inlet/Outlet port size: 1/2" FNPT

Power consumption: 13 Watts   (The included power supply can accept 90-240vac, 50/ 60hz input. Swapping power cords allows this reactor to work worldwide, ask about country specific power cords)
