Using P.R. Escobals turnover calculation this equates to 99% of all tank water being filtered in 24 hours on a 200 gallon system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Filtering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter aquarium water passes through and exits the reactor chamber, it runs through a carbon post filter which strips out all remaining ozone and any by-products of the oxidation reactions.  The carbon does not \"tumble\", instead the effluent is dispersed evenly over the bed of GAC and then sent out the central pipe after scrubbing.  This top down flow over the carbon bed has shown to be up to 20x more effective at stripping residual ozone out of the water than a traditional \"upflow\" fluidized reactor.  This effectively neutralizes the smell in both the effluent air and water, making both safe for fish, pets, and people.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOzone reactor, HDPE media, Tetra air pump, Sicce recirculating needlewheel pump, reef safe silicone o-ring grease, Ozotech check valve, carbon postfilter reactor and enough carbon for 2-3 months of operation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll tubing and valves are included for a normal installation.  This includes 4' of clear 1\/2\" tubing and Antelco water control valve for the feed line in, 2' clear 1\/2\" tubing for output, 3' of 3\/16\" ozone safe air tubing and a genuine Ozotech 3\/16\" check valve to go between the generator and reactor.  2' air line assembly with Antelco air valve that goes between the air pump and the generator. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOzone generator and feed pump (or manifold feed line) are required for operation but not included.  We recommend the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.avastmarine.com\/products\/poseidon-200-ozone-generator-black-edition\"\u003ePoseidon 200\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.avastmarine.com\/products\/sicce-syncra-water-pump?variant=11062653891\"\u003eSicce Silent .5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFootprint with connected carbon reactor: 12\" x 7\" x 21\" tall.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon reactor can be placed remotely for more flexible footprint options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be used externally or in sump in up to 12\" depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/1966\/files\/Avast_Marine_Mutiny_2.11_1.pdf?v=1696449750\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Setup and User Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avast Marine Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51629212074282,"sku":"MUTINY-OZONE-V2.1","price":739.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0873\/7322\/files\/avast-marine-works-mutiny-ozone-reactor-v2-1-avast-marine-1241402471.jpg?v=1780527280","url":"https:\/\/topshelfaquatics.com\/products\/mutiny-ozone-reactor-v2-1","provider":"Top Shelf Aquatics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
