What's Included & What You'll Need
Includes one Bashsea 6-12 Media Chamber reactor. Pump, filtration media, and installation tubing are sold separately. Match tubing to the hose-barb fittings and provide clearance above the lid for media replacement. Photos show the Media Chamber family and construction details; this purchase is for one reactor in the listed size.
Setup & Media Care
Rinse and prepare media according to its manufacturer's instructions. Set flow to suit the selected media, rather than automatically running at maximum output; excessive tumbling can grind delicate media. Check fittings and O-rings for leaks, keep sponges clear, and replace exhausted media as needed. Size the pump for actual flow after plumbing and head-pressure losses.
