The Aqua Excel AE-FR Series Media Reactors are high-performance fluidised media filters designed to maintain optimal water quality in marine and reef aquariums. Engineered to house a wide range of filter media—including activated carbon, Granular Ferric Oxide (GFO), bio-pellets, and phosphate removers—these reactors maximize contact time between aquarium water and filter media to efficiently export excess nutrients, organic compounds, and toxins.

Constructed from premium cell-cast acrylic, the AE-FR series features a space-saving cylindrical design with superior clarity and long-term durability. Each unit utilizes a bottom-up water distribution plate to ensure uniform fluidisation without media channeling or dead spots. A quick-release top plate makes media changes fast and hassle-free, whether installed in a sump compartment or plumbed into a manifold line.
