Pax Bellum ARID C36 Macro Algae Reactor
The Pax Bellum ARID C36 is an advanced macroalgae reactor designed to maximize nutrient export in reef aquariums. Utilizing Chaetomorpha macroalgae, the C36 efficiently removes nitrates and phosphates while stabilizing pH and boosting dissolved oxygen levels. Its coaxial LED array delivers intense, evenly distributed PAR for rapid macroalgae growth, while vapor heat-pipe technology keeps LEDs cool for long-term efficiency and minimal heat transfer into your aquarium.
This system functions as a stand-alone filtration solution, replacing GFO, nitrate reactors, bio-pellet reactors, carbon dosing, and even protein skimmers. By evenly circulating water through the algae mass, the ARID C36 ensures maximum nutrient uptake while maintaining a balanced environment for fish, corals, and invertebrates.
