OceanTech FB-120E Fluidised Bed Filter

OceanTech FB-120E Fluidised Bed Filter

The OceanTech FB-120E Fluidised Bed Filter is a versatile media reactor designed for efficient biological and chemical filtration in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Suitable for aquariums up to approximately 800 litres, it provides an effective way to run specialized filtration media and improve aquarium water quality.

Efficient Fluidised Filtration

The FB-120E works by allowing water to flow through the filter media, keeping suitable media gently moving within the reactor. This maximizes contact between the aquarium water and filtration media, helping improve the efficiency of chemical and biological filtration.

Suitable for Different Filter Media

The reactor can be used with a variety of suitable aquarium filtration media depending on your water-quality requirements. It can be used for media designed to help remove or control phosphate, silicate, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

• Phosphate-removing media
• Silicate-removing media
• Ammonia-removing media
• Nitrite and nitrate control media
• Biological filter media
• Activated carbon and other suitable chemical media

For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums

The OceanTech FB-120E can be used in a wide range of aquarium systems, including freshwater tanks, marine aquariums, reef tanks, filtration sumps, and specialized aquarium setups.

External or Internal Installation

The FB-120E can be positioned either inside or outside the aquarium system, depending on the filtration setup. Connect a suitable feed pump to the reactor and adjust the water flow so that the media moves gently and evenly without excessive tumbling.

Recommended Water Flow

Use a suitable feed pump and adjust the flow according to the type and quantity of media being used. The ideal flow should keep the media gently fluidised while avoiding excessive movement that could damage or break down delicate filter media.

Easy Media Setup

The reactor is designed to make loading and replacing filtration media straightforward. Add the required media, connect the inlet and outlet hoses, and gradually adjust the water flow until the desired fluidisation is achieved.
