Precision Carbon Dosing Without the Chaos.
The BioChurn Reactor INT is engineered for hobbyists who demand total control over solid carbon dosing. Unlike traditional reactors that require excessive, turbulent flow just to keep media moving, our "Churn Style" design fluidizes large volumes of bio-pellets with ease.
Utilizing our patent-pending churn plate, the reactor generates a unique cyclonic motion for superior media suspension. Paired with our Aquatrance recirculation pumps, the integrated independent flow valves allow you to fine-tune media movement without affecting overall throughput. Available in In-Sump, External, and Commercial series, the BioChurn is the definitive solution for managing PO4 and NO3.
Key Features
• Cyclone Churn Technology: Patent-pending plate design ensures pellets remain in a constant state of suspension without needing excessive flow pressure.
• Integrated Aquatrance Pump: Includes a reliable, energy-efficient Aquatrance 1200 pump for both feed and fluidization.
• High-Quality Construction: Built with durable, hand-made acrylic for long-term reliability in marine environments.
• Cascading Output: The design allows for a gentle water return, increasing the surface area for bacterial activity.
• Simplified Maintenance: Features an easy-to-access upper containment plate and sieve to keep media securely inside the chamber.
• Space-Saving Footprint: The compact 5-inch body diameter fits easily into most standard aquarium sumps.
Ideal For
• Mixed reef and SPS-dominant aquariums requiring strict nitrate and phosphate management.
• Intermediate to advanced hobbyists looking for a more efficient alternative to traditional tumbling reactors.
• Systems up to 200 gallons that need a dedicated carbon-dosing solution to combat nuisance algae.
• Hobbyists with limited sump space who require a pump-integrated, "plug-and-play" reactor setup.
• Aquarists using solid carbon sources like BioSpheres or NPX Bioplastics for nutrient reduction.
