While we take great care to keep any contaminates away from our products
during assembly, please take a moment to clean the reactor and plumbing
before attaching to your tank. Only clean your reactor with warm water. Never
clean Acrylic with alcohol based products. Use caution when handling as
acrylic scratches easily.
Please keep in mind that a media reactor is intended to be a bypass filter, and
is not designed to handle the complete flow and pressure requirements of a
large aquarium system.
