A short demo of my DIY Bio Pellets reactor for use in my 22gal AIO reef. This reactor was made with a piece of 2.5 inch acrylic tubing, some spare acrylic sheets, an Azoo 600 powerhead, and 2 pads made from 7 mesh ultra-stiff cross stitch sheets from Michaels

  • Thx for the comments....MFodleg, I got the tube from Tap Plastics, part number 23477.  The od 2 1/4" Acrylic Tube (1/8" wall). The center bar is a 1/4 inch threaded nylon rod with 4 nylon nuts which hold the pads in place. The pads are cut from a cross stitch sheet from Michaels, 7 mesh...seems to hold the pellets well.

  • What do biopellets do for the aquarium?

  • @ansonwilson, solid carbon dosing encourages growth of nitrate eating bacteria - should improve coral color and reduce algae growth

  • i dont see any skimmer near the reactor where is it?

  • Thank you for the information. I ordered the parts and built your reactor. It works perfect for my setup, sitting in my 5 gallon sump. I highly recommend this build for anyone looking to put a nano reactor in their setup. Great job on the design and thanks again!

  • What is the inner and outer diameter of the acrylic tubing, and where did you purchase it? How are you holding the upper and lower pads in?

  • Like the design..,

  • Good video good info thanks!

  • the reactor should have less flow otherwise it will be hard for the bacteria to colonize it. but in all really good idea
