## Description

AQUATOP's MR-30 Multimedia Reactor uses a reverse water flow design that prevents water from channeling through the filter media, thus maximizing the efficiency of filter media. Constructed of high-quality acrylic with an easy to remove lid, the MR Series can be installed either in-sump or hang on the tank and comes complete with all plumbing parts.

Review: My phosphates went through the roof and I lost a lot of my corals. Added this and it was easy to set up and started running gfo through it instead of a filter sock. Levels dropped within a week. Going to add another to run with carbon.
Review: Everything works perfect. Easy to put together got the reactor running in probably 10 minutes. The only thing I don't like is that the unit is to big, other then that thumbs up. Fyi I looked at some of the reviews about the pump problem and I don't think that's the case. Attached is a video showing how is working perfectly, the GFO needs to tumble gently you don't need an earthquake inside the reactor. So far everything working good 👍 I recommend the unit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could you put sand in this and use it as a fluidized bed filter?**
A: I do. I put filter floss under the sponges to prevent sand from falling to the bottom. Used pool filtration sand and branched off from my primary pump with a valve to adjust water flow. I don't use the included pump but I don't see why you cant. Works great for me!

**Q: Is the pump that it comes with a submersible or not**
A: I'm confused how any pump that's not submerged would even work? That's kind of the point of the pump, to be submerged in water so that it pumps into the media...

**Q: What are the exact internal diameter of the hoses?**
A: From what I can measure, its 7/16 in. inner diameter and 1/2 in. outer diameter

**Q: What size tubing I can use for the aquatop Mr 20 to  replace the clear tubing that came with it with a black tube ?**
A: 7/16 inch inner diameter, 1/2 inch outer diameter

Ihear people raging the little pump they they give with this reactor ,well there dead wrong it's plenty strong enough to push water up and back through the media. Im Using it for a calcium reactor and what your not I hear people raging the little pump they give with this reactor ,well there dead wrong it plenty strong enough to punch water up and back through the mefia what ever your using. I. Using it for a calcium reactor and what your not understanding is a slow flow filters better than a fast one , that a scientific fact . this reactor keeps my reef up to 425 ppm on calcium with no problem.
