Reef Octopus BioChurn 10T Commercial Biopellet Reactor
The Reef Octopus BioChurn 10T (SKU: OCT-BC10T) is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade external biological reactor designed to manage severe nutrient export requirements in large systems up to 2,500 gallons. Developed specifically for public aquariums, large research laboratories, fish farms, and hyper-capacity aquaculture facilities, the BC-10T targets elevated nitrate and phosphate concentrations via high-capacity solid carbon dosing. By fluidizing solid biodegradable polymer pellets, the reactor cultivates massive colonies of beneficial probiotic bacteria that consume dissolved inorganic nutrients right out of the water column.
The core innovation of the BioChurn 10T is its specialized, patent-pending Power Churn configuration. In standard large-scale media reactors, suspending several liters of dense polymer media usually requires enormous, power-hungry pumps that subject the plumbing to extreme hydraulic stress. The BC-10T avoids this with an internal churn plate that focuses water into a powerful, spinning cyclone matrix. This cyclonic action delivers uniform media suspension and completely eliminates media clumping or anaerobic dead zones while drawing a highly efficient performance from the Water Blaster 7000 recirculation pump. Outfitted with dual independent plumbing control valves, this industrial-grade tower gives water management professionals complete control over biological filtration and fluidizing performance.
Key Features
Cyclonic Fluidization: Swirling motion keeps biopellets in constant motion, preventing the cementing and uneven channeling common in basic fluidizing reactors.
Water Blaster 7000 Recirculation: Features an advanced neodymium magnet rotor assembly that draws 88 Watts while providing silent, ultra-dependable long-term performance.
Aggressive Nutrient Export: Cultivates massive microbial biofilms that pull nitrates and phosphates from the water column, easily exported down-stream via a high-capacity protein skimmer.
Massive Media Capacity: Accommodates up to 10 Liters of biopellet media, providing immense biological surface area for heavy bioload configurations.
Pressure-Sealed Integrity: Constructed with heavy-wall union fittings and a thick, gasket-sealed top lid assembly ensuring 100% leak-proof external deployment.
System Capacity Handling
Heavy Bioload / Commercial Aquaculture: 1,200 Gallons
Medium Bioload / Multi-Tank Systems: 1,850 Gallons
