Reef Octopus BR1000SS Space Saver Biopellet Reactor
The Reef Octopus BR1000SS Space Saver Biopellet Reactor is engineered for high-capacity nutrient export in systems where sump real estate is at a premium. By integrating the pump directly inside the reactor's base, this "Space Saver" model significantly reduces its overall footprint compared to traditional external-pump reactors. This design allows you to run a full-scale biological filtration setup in tight compartments while maintaining the 1L media capacity necessary for larger reef aquaria.
Equipped with the energy-efficient Water Blaster 1000 pump, the BR1000SS utilizes a specialized fluidizing cone bottom to drive water upward through the media. This constant motion prevents biopellets from clumping or developing anaerobic zones, ensuring that beneficial bacteria have maximum surface area to consume excess nitrates and phosphates. For aquarists managing systems up to 250 gallons, the BR1000SS provides a robust, professional-grade solution that balances high performance with a space-efficient design.
Key Features
• Space-Saving Footprint: Internal pump mounting significantly reduces the area needed in your sump.
• Fluidizing Cone Design: The conical base plate ensures uniform water distribution for a superior, consistent media tumble.
• Water Blaster Pump: Includes a reliable, low-heat pump designed specifically for high-flow aquarium applications.
• Large Reaction Chamber: Holds up to 1 liter of biopellet media for aggressive nutrient management.
• High-Quality Construction: Built from hand-polished, cell-cast acrylic for maximum durability and visibility.
• Easy Maintenance: Features a secure, removable lid and precision sieve plates for quick media changes.
Ideal For
• Large reef and mixed-species aquariums up to 250 gallons needing strict nutrient control.
• Hobbyists with complex filtration setups where every inch of sump space is already utilized.
• High-bio-load systems requiring a large volume of carbon dosing media.
• Advanced aquarists seeking a "plug-and-play" reactor with a pre-matched, integrated pump.
• Systems where minimizing external plumbing and leak points is a priority.
