Introduction
The element™ Z Reactor is designed to utilize zeolite as a filter media in removing various
pollutants from a reef aquarium while also providing a media to house beneficial bacteria. This
method of filtration has been shown to increase coral coloration in many cases by reducing
organic nutrient loads in reef aquaria to much lower levels. An important factor in use of the
element™ Z Reactor is to utilize the wash feature of the reactor on the media 1-2 times per day.
The wash of the media allows for more efficient filtration by keeping the bio film that grows on
the media at a minimum while also feeding reef aquarium inhabitants the bio film itself.
