Tunze Algea Reactor 3182

The Macro Algae Reactor MAR 3182 is specially built to grow algae in seawater and plants in fresh water. Chaetomorpha "Spaghetti Algae" is cultivated by many seawater aquarists to remove nitrates and phosphates from the aquatic biotope. It is absolutely enough to harvest a handful of algae from time to time to maintain the biological balance in an aquarium - an economical and simple alternative to many chemicals or resins.

Naja Grass, Najas guadalupensis, can be grown to purify freshwater systems,
such as cichlid biotopes.

TUNZE® MAR 3182 can be placed in any filter basin or next to the aquarium without external filter technology. The water circulation in the reactor ensures rotation of the algae culture and thus reduces the number of light sources associated with strong plant growth. However, additional light sources can be added to the device if required.
