Aquatic Technology White Bio Pellet Reactor
Instruction Manual
General: We have many different sized reactors with capacities up to 4 liters of biopellets and easily handle an 800 gallon aquarium When you cycle the reactor you should use 10 ml of biopellets per 8 gallons of tank size. If your nitrates are above 20 ppm or you phosphates above .15 ppm you should start with 10 ml per 16 gallons of tank size. After the reactor is cycled you will want to add enough biopellets so that you have 100 ml of biopellets per 20 gallons of tank size. If your nitrates and phosphates don't go down near zero after 2 months you can safely double this dose. If you insist on putting too many biopellets in at first your water will most likely turn cloudy white from a bacterial bloom. If this happens remove some of the pellets from the reactor and add them back in later. Pump sizing: The pump needs to be large enough that all of the pellets are moving or tumbling with no dead spots with no movement. If there are dead spots the pellets will clump. Setting up the reactor: 1. Remove the lid and top screen and sponge if any. Do not use a sponge with biopellets. Add the appropriate amount of pellets. Replace and tighten the top screen an inch or so below the top of the reactor. replace and tighten the lid. make sure no biopellets are trapped between the lid and the flange.
2. Hook
up a correctly sized pump using 3/4 inch tubing. For safety clamp all
connections with plastic clamps. 3. Turn on and adjust the flow so that all pellets are tumbling. Wait 15 minutes or so and turn off the pump and shake the pellets so the ones at the top fall down. repeat every 15 plus minutes till they no longer pile up at the top. You may have to slow the flow down if it keeps happening. You only need enough flow to keep the pellets moving. 4. You are done. Every so often check the reactor for pellets stuck to the top and turn off the pump if there are any and shake them loose. After many months you may have to remove the top and clean the top plate. Over time you may have to remove the center tube and clean the bottom plate. Add biopellets as they become used up |
