Eliminate the clutter around your aquarium the ARID can function as a stand-alone filtration system. Designed to replace GFO (granulated ferric oxide), nitrate reactors, bio-pellet reactors, carbon dosing and even protein “skimmers” (foam fractionators). The ARID can perform functions the previously mentioned equipment can`t. Functions such as, increasing and stabilizing Ph from day to night, lowering dissolved CO2 concentrations, keeping dissolved oxygen even from day to night, and increasing dissolved oxygen to levels higher than can be attained with skimmers alone, all standard benefits of running the ARID system.
For the aquarist with a system from 40-120 US gallons (150-450 liters) the N18 is the smallest practical use of the ARID reactor embodied in a H.O.T. version. This model stands 16- 3/8” tall, and has a footprint of 6- ½” in diameter; the chamber and lid are produced entirely out of cast acrylic. The H.O.T. bracket is integral to the chamber flange and is adjustable for tank rims with bracing. The central inlet port on the bottom is ½” barb, as is the outlet on the lid. LED power consumption is 12 watts. Optional in-line quick-disconnects are available for the N18 separately. The N18 ships with starter solutions, 125ml of a 5% w/v solution of Nitrate+Molybdenum and 30ml of Iron+Manganese. To contain the blinding light emanating from within the reactor included is a magnetically fastened removable light blocking chamber cover.
