Description
Vertex RX-U 2.5L universal media reactor / fluidized bed filter with PVC tap, 60cm hg.
Crystal clear screens are always the goal of any aspiring Reef Hobbyist. As mainstays of the hobby, Activated Carbon and Phosphate Absorbent Media go a long way toward fulfilling this purpose by absorbing many of the impurities that accumulate in the water column. In addition, the applications of PHA biodegradable plastics such as “Vertex ™ Pro-Bio Pellets” are gaining in popularity and proving to be an effective addition to most nutrient export systems. The incorporation of these media into the systems has traditionally been accomplished using filter bags and / or cartridges. However, this is far from the most effective means of using these products, as the media compromises compact, flow-through dips and contact with the surface area. Vertex ™ Universal Media Reactors provide a practical solution by fluidizing the given media, eliminating the problem of compaction and assigning full control over the flow to the user.
Rx-U Plus Series Media Reactor accomplish these tasks in style. Only the best materials are used and a perfect combination of form and function is achieved through precise CNC machining. No expense was spared to offer the best quality and most versatile functionality. From titanium screws to QUICK-LOC lid design; Ease of use, functionality, modularity and easy maintenance have been the ambitions behind the design of the RX-U series.
Rx-U plus is a perfect addition to the Vertex Universal reactor setup as removing the reactor from the system is not possible and / or convenient. Two-chamber design of the Rx-U PLUS series allows the user to remove the inner media bin from the unit to facilitate an exchange without having to completely remove the reactor. Media exchange and / or replenishment has never been easier.
Rx-U Plus units are designed for INLINE hard plumbed and / or REMOTE soft hose applications. Installation is a breeze and the unit can also be completely disassembled for thorough maintenance. While the reactor is perfectly suited for running probiotic media, an additional Bio-Peller add-on kit is offered for foam pad replacement if and when desired and / or necessary.

Furthermore to that the uses of PHA Biodegradable plastics such as “Vertex ™ Pro-Bio Pellets” are becoming increasingly popular and prove to be an effective addition to most nutrient-export systems. Incorporating these medias into the systems has traditionally been accomplished with the aid of filter bags and / or cartridges. However, this is far from being the most effective means of utilizing these products as the medias compact, flow-through declines and the surface area contact becomes compromised. Vertex ™ Universal Media Reactors provide a practical solution by fluidizing the given medias, thereby eliminating the problem of compaction and allocating complete control of flow-through to the user.

Rx-U plus is a perfect addition to the Vertex Universal reactor line-up for when removing the reactor from system is not possible and / or convenient. Dual chamber design of Rx-U PLUS series enables the user to remove the inner media container from the unit to facilitate an exchange without the need to remove the reactor completely.
