Reef Octopus Lights Reactor LR-200 for Aquariums

The Reef Octopus Lights Reactor LR-200 for Aquariums delivers precision LED lighting engineered for reef and planted aquarium systems. Its advanced spectrum technology supports photosynthesis and coral coloration while maintaining consistent light distribution across your tank. Built with durable construction and efficient cooling, this fixture minimizes heat output and energy consumption. Ideal for aquarists seeking reliable, professional-grade illumination that balances performance with operational efficiency.

Features:

• Natural Filtration Method: The reactor utilizes macroalgae, like Chaetomorpha, to absorb excess nitrates and phosphates from the water.
• Optimal Lighting System: It features a unique triangular, IP67 certified waterproof LED light strip inside the reactor, providing 360-degree light coverage to maximize algae exposure and growth. The light intensity is adjustable, allowing control over the algae's growth rate.
• Integrated Design: The reactor includes integrated algae containment plates and a removable 3-tier strainer container, which makes harvesting the macroalgae content a breeze.
• Versatile Placement: The unit can be installed either in the sump or externally, offering flexibility for different aquarium setups.
• Included Pump: A circulation pump (AQ-2000) is bundled with the reactor to ensure proper water flow.
• Durable Construction: It is made with high-quality, handmade acrylic construction designed to be robust and watertight.
• Low Wattage: The LED lighting operates at a low wattage (20 watts) with a heat sink for safe, energy-efficient operation. 

Benefits:

• Nutrient Control: The primary benefit is the effective, natural removal of algae-producing nutrients (nitrates and phosphates), which helps combat unwanted algae growth in the main display tank.
• Improved Water Quality: By reducing nutrient levels, the reactor helps maintain clearer, healthier water, which is essential for the well-being and vibrant growth of corals and fish.
• Stable pH and CO2 Levels: The photosynthetic process of the macroalgae helps to stabilize pH and lower dissolved CO2 levels, especially when run on a reverse daylight cycle (lights on when main tank lights are off).
• Copepod Habitat: The macroalgae within the reactor provides a safe haven for beneficial copepods and amphipods to reproduce, which then naturally feed the aquarium inhabitants.
• Reduced Maintenance: Effectively managing nutrients through the reactor can lead to a reduction in the frequency of water changes and the need for chemical filtration media.
