The FMR75 fluidised reactor was developed to provide an economical solution for
the hobbyist with a small to medium sized tank and will fluidise up to 500mls of
ROWAphos or 750mls of NutriFix pellets/ROWAcarbon.
NUTRIFIX NP BIO PELLETS
Two model packs are available, the standard FMR 75 which included the reactor, feed and
return plastic tubing, a shut off valve and non return valve.
These reactors are small enough to use on the smallest of nano tanks but with sufficient
capacity to use on the largest of systems.
Nutri-Fix NP is a 100% pure, fixed carbon source bio-polymer that can be used in a fluidised
reactor for the promotion of rapid bacterial growth within a controlled environment, away
from the main display, promoting only those bacteria relevant to the task of nutrient uptake.
• Dimensions: 128mm x 94mm x 440mm (including fittings and lid)
• Reaction tube outer diameter: 80mm
• Tube height between upper/lower perforated plates: 340mm
• Designed to be the correct height to hang on a 15” sump

Nutri-Fix NP is an engineered bio-media and bacterial food source adapted specifically for
the reduction of nitrate and phosphate in aquaria.
How does NutriFix work?
Unlike indiscriminate and potentially risky carbon dosing methods such as vodka or vinegar,
which entail adding carbon sources directly to the main aquarium to promote bacterial
growth, Bio Pellets provide the same carbon source for the bacteria without the potential
for mistakes.
For a complete ‘plug and play’ installation choose the FMR75 KIT or FMRKITEU which,
in addition to the items mentioned above, also includes a 1000 litres per hour pump,
everything you need to start using the reactor straight away.
The Bio-Polymer acts as a primary food source to encourage healthy bacterial colonisation,
which in turn assimilates or fixes nitrate and phosphate as that population grows. With these
nutrients locked into the biomass of the bacterial population, the bio film or ‘bacterial mulm’
can then be exported via physical agitation of the media in the reactor to make way for
further bacterial growth.

Removes Nitrate and Reduces Phosphate
The effluent carrying these bacterial films can then be directed towards the intake of a
protein skimmer for physical removal via foam fractionation. Continuous exportation of
excess nitrate and phosphate are a direct result of this reaction.
Is it possible to use too much media?
Not normally as the bacterial growth rate is limited by the availability of free nitrate and
phosphate in the water, regardless of the carbon source being available. Generally bacterial
growth will increase as nutrient levels rise and fall back as levels decrease creating a stable
environment within the aquarium.
It is however recommended that a 50% dose is used when starting out on an existing
aquarium to limit any excessive or rapid decreases in nutrient availability, which could stress
some more delicate organisms.
Benefits and Use:
• Reduces both nitrate and phosphate.
• No additional carbon dosing required.
• Allows increased feeding of fish and corals.
• 100-200ml of NutriFix per 100L of water.
• Protein skimming required.
• Best used in a fluidised reactor.
