Aqua Excel Media Reactor for up to 130Gal
Aqua Excel Media Reactor for up to 130Gal
Created especially for the aquarist with limited space. This is a space saving reactor and is very simple to setup up. Saves valuable space and conserves costly energy. Powered by an energy efficient pump to provide the correct amount of feed flow for carbon. Water is directly injected into the media chamber enhancing the pumps performance, and provides even distribution of flow through the media. The water inlet is a specially engineered structure that prevents the media from exiting the chamber and entering the pump when the power is off. While being unique in design, this reactor
Does not have a pipe in the middle of chamber making it super easy to remove the cover when accessing the media.

Feeding & Diet
Feeding & Diet
An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.
Care & Water Parameters
Care & Water Parameters
The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Reef & Tank Compatibility
Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.
Size & Growth
Size & Growth
Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
