As a media reactor, the Multi-Filter can contain different types of filtration media:
Fauna Marin Carb L activated carbon
Fauna Marin NPO Redu pellets
Fauna Marine Phos 0.04
Fauna Marine Power Phos
Fauna Marine Ultra Phos
You can also comfortably mix Carb L and PO4 carriers in the same chamber without any issues.
The Multi-Filter's space-saving design allows users to find a place in the smallest space!

Assembly and installation
Step 1Assemble the multi-filter by connecting the supplied pump to the filter body.Make sure the pump is completely open, see the instructions for use enclosed with the pump.
Step 2Find a suitable area in your sump and place the Multi-Filter in that area.If possible, place the filter in front of a skimmer.This will allow the middle of the reactor to reduce nutrients more effectively.The reactor should not sit in a water level higher than 9.8" - 11.8".Make sure the reactor is standing straight all the time.Otherwise, performance will be compromised.
Step 3Remove the top middle screw and screen, then add your filter media of choice.Reposition the screen and slightly tighten the screw.
Step 4Adjust the output rate of the pump by turning the knob on the pump itself.Make sure the filter media spins smoothly and does not flow into the reactor.
Make sure the filter media is still tumbling and there is sufficient water flow.
Interview
In order for the reactor to maintain its performance, we recommend that you carry out regular maintenance of the reactor.
Weekly maintenance
Clean the upper screen with a soft brush
Clean drain openings with a brush or soft straw pad
Clean the outer side walls of the reactor with a swab
Maintenance 2 weeks
Clean pump body
3 to 4 weeks of maintenance
Remove and clean the bottom screen by disassembling the reactor body.
Open the central screw of the PVC pipe, remove the upper screen.
Twist bottom screen onto center PVC pipe (threaded at base)
Go back up
Our recommendation
It is very important to ensure that the water overflows evenly into the outer walls of the reactor.This allows the drainage water to be re-enriched with oxygen that was previously consumed during the nutrient decomposition phase.
Use the flow adjustment knob to adjust the flow rate of the reactor and ensure the reactor runs quietly.
