Bio Reactor 6-18
The Bio Reactor is the ultimate maintenance free biological filter. The Bio Reactor utilizes Bashsea’s proprietary "Bio-Mass" bio media specifically engineered to allow more waste removal in a smaller footprint. Bio-Mass media has substantially more surface area than all other moving bed media in the industry. The Bio Reactor produces the perfect Bio-Motion: A counter-current flow design that maximizes media dwell time. This results in rapid, instant, and continual waste removal making the Bio Reactor a 100% self cleaning system - so there's ZERO maintenance required.
When the Bio-Motion and Bio-Mass INTERACT our "Live Water" environment takes control - Friction created by the interaction causes any old dead bacteria on the surface of the Bio-Mass media to be gently removed. This makes space for new heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonize - instantly removing toxic ammonia and nitrite from the water column.
