Description
TUNZE® Macro Algae Reactor – The Ultimate Bioremediation Solution for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums!
Looking for a natural and effective way to improve the health of your aquarium? The TUNZE® Macro Algae Reactor is here to help! By using live plants and macroalgae, this reactor is a powerhouse for keeping your tank clean and balanced—without the need for harsh chemicals or expensive resins.
In saltwater tanks, Chaetomorpha, is a popular choice among marine aquarists. It actively removes nitrates and phosphates from your water, helping prevent algae overgrowth and ensuring a healthy, thriving ecosystem. All you need to do is harvest a handful of algae every now and then, and you’ll maintain that perfect biological balance with minimal effort.
For freshwater systems, like cichlid biotopes, Naja Grass (Najas guadalupensis) works wonders. It helps purify the water, keeping your aquatic plants and fish happy and healthy.
Easy to Use:
The TUNZE® Macro Algae Reactor (models 3181 and 3182) is incredibly versatile. It can be placed in any filter basin or even right next to your aquarium—no external filter tech needed! The water circulation inside the reactor keeps the algae moving, encouraging healthy growth and reducing the need for intense lighting. Plus, you can add extra lights if you want to boost plant growth even further.
Key Benefits:
- Natural Biological Detoxification: Macro algae and plants work together to filter your tank water and eliminate unwanted toxins.
- Reduces Nitrates & Phosphates: Keep your tank clean and prevent algae overgrowth with this eco-friendly solution.
- Produces Food for Fish: The algae culture doubles as a natural food source for your fish, providing them with extra nutrition.
- Refuge for Zooplankton: Algae also creates a safe haven for zooplankton, which serves as food for corals and other tank inhabitants.
- Oxygen Production: Algae help enrich the water with oxygen, ensuring your tank’s environment remains optimal for all its inhabitants.

TUNZE® 3181 or 3182 can be placed in any filter basin or beside the aquarium without external filter technology. The reactor’s water circulation ensures the algae rotation and thus reduces the number of light sources, accompanied by strong plant growth. However, additional light sources can be added to the device as needed.
