While we take great care to keep any contaminants away from our products during assembly, please take a
moment to clean with warm water ONLY. Never clean Acrylic with alcohol-based products. Use caution when
handling acrylic scratches easily.

Some media (such as phosphate control products) is not designed to be aggressively fluidized in a reactor –

Biopellets may initially clump during break-in. Turn off the pump and allow the clumps to settle at the bottom
of the reactor. Gently shake the reactor to break up clumps. Once the pellets go through this initial break-in
process, they generally require no further action.
For media designed to be fully fluidized, the reactor should be filled
no more than two-thirds full
to allow
the media room to move around. With heavy or fine media, you may need to add less.
