Maxi-Jet pump mounts to aquarium walls using strong, triple suction cup mounts (included). Pump's adjustable directional flow pushes water to anywhere it is needed. Provides needed circulation for reef and invertebrate inhabitants.
The Maxi-Jet® pump includes equipment necessary to convert to powerhead. Powerhead incorporates a venturi aeration device to provide optimal aeration and gas exchange in the aquarium. A silencer keeps the venturi aeration device operating quietly. An adjustable air filter permits the user to fine-tune air volume and water mixing as desired.
The intake tube adapter with pre-filter screen prevents gravel or loose material in the aquarium from getting into the pump. (replacement pre-filter sponge 2-pack also available)
Great for wavemaker adaptations. See the Wavemaker timer and power bar below
The custom air valve regulates air flow, the air filter eliminates noise and dust, and the intake strainer keeps debris from fouling the impeller...that's efficiency.
New longer 10 ft power cord makes placement easy.
Three Sizes: 145 gph, 170 gph, and 300 gph
MD86608 (170 gph) has reverse flow capabilities to send oxygenated water deep into the gravel bed. Has reusable, slide-off sponge pre-filter. When used in the normal fashion with an undergravel filter, the sponge expands the bacteria bed and provides an additional biological filter.
Not for use with wavemakers
Ends the problem of "dead zones" in the tank.
For both Freshwater and Marine Tanks!
If you will be using two powerheads in one tank, you may use two smaller ones instead of one with the maximum circulation you need. We recommend that the water circulate at least 5 times per hour (or more) for best filtration.
This unit comes with all necessary fittings for basic operation making set-up simple. Works well with KENT Marine Power Phos as a liquidized phosphate and silicate remover. Even better, it can also be used with other KENT Marine filter media such as Phosphate Sponge, Reef Carbon, Nitrate Sponge, Toxic Metal Sponge, and others.
Requires a submersible pump rated up to a 100 gph.The KENT Marine NAUTILUS Phos Reactor is a multi-purpose filter that is rated for freshwater aquariums up to 300 gallons and marine aquariums up to 150 gallons. For larger systems, multiple units can be utilized.
The reaction chamber is made of crystal-clear, high grade acrylic with a huge overall volume of approximately 295 cubic inches. This allows a large viewing area to see the bubble density and adjust the water height as needed. The molded pieces and collection cup are made of durable ABS plastic, which is much less likely to suffer damage from impact or dropping. Input and exhaust tube assemblies are replaceable should they suffer damage.
The skimmer exhaust is protected by a baffle. Few (if any) bubbles escape the reaction chamber. As a result, no bubble makes it back into the sump or main aquarium.
The actual exhaust assembly is height-adjustable, allowing the hobbyist to tweak the height of water in the reaction chamber and produce the darkest, driest, dirtiest foam possible depending on conditions within the sump; this equates to much greater efficiency and less water being wasted as skimmate.
The Nautilus TE comes with everything you need except for a pump! Just purchase a pump that has a flow rating of 600-900 gph (we recommend the MAG Drive 700 or Rio2100), hook it up and plug it in and you are done!
The most efficient way to move the water is by using a pump and/or powerhead.
Rio Plus Aquarium Water Pumps/Powerheads are high performance, yet priced for the hobbyist. Desinged with next generation magnetic-rotor technology, the Rio® Plus Aqua Pumps and Powerheads offer the best high-performance solution in the aquarium industry. The ceramic shaft and durable high-impact plastic make the pump reliable and long lasting. Magnetic rotor technology offers low maintenance and high reliability. And, although the Rio Plus delivers a high flow rate with tremendous pressure capability, it is quiet to operate.
The largest and most powerful models provide excellent performance within wet or dry filters and in venturi protein skimmers when high pressure and flow rates are needed. Reliable and quiet, Rio® Plus Aqua Pumps and Powerheads do not use oil to operate so they cannot contaminate the aquatic environment
Other features of the Rio® Plus Aqua Pump and optional Powerhead include energy efficiency, low-heat operation and a flow rate intended to keep electric bills low.
The fully submersible Rio® can be used in both freshwater and saltwater.
