Poly Reactor PR 30/30 Katalyst Bio Pellets Starter Kit
Brightwell Aquatics Katalyst - BioreactiveFiltration Media for
Nitrate and Phosphate Control in allAquaria
Bioactive filtration media, providing an idealcolonization
substrate and a suitable source of organic carbon to
beneficialmicrobes responsible for uptake of nitrate and phosphate.
Helps decreaselatent organic material, and hence nitrate and
phosphate concentrations, inaquaria, greatly simplifying and
improving nutrient control relative to methodsbased solely upon
using vodka or other alcohol/sugar solutions as organic
carbonsources.
This kit has just about everything you need to get started with Katalyst Bio Pellets. We have chosen these components based on easy setup and value. Save money and shipping when you buy the kit!
How does it work?
This probiotic method for keeping reef aquariums can give the
hobbyists a sort of an edge over using standard saltwater
filtration methods alone. Probiotic methods allow you to have a
more active influence over the water chemistry to enhance
fish/coral health and especially coral coloration.
The ViaAqua Poly Reactor is the heart of the system allowing the water to constantly pass through the Bio Pellets back to the aquarium. The Poly media reactor can be used in sump or as a hang-on reactor. The reactor has a flow adjustment to allow you to set the water flow to keep the bio pellets tumbling around a bit in the reactor.
KATALYST provides a static surface for colonization by beneficial microbes,while at the same time providing them with a source of organic carbon, which isrequired for the uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds (including nitrateand phosphate, respectively).
Once your system organics and nutrients are under control with the Katalyst starter kit you will then begin to expand your coral feeding and start the color boosting dosing with other supplements sold separately.
Preparing for Katalyst BioPellets
A couple of things to note when you start a probiotic method. Do
these things and it will help with the transition of your saltwater
reef tank over to what is known as an ULNS (ultra low nutrient
system):
