Vibe Kit
17The Vibe is a completely Automatic Zeovit reactor, the first of its kind and a long anticipated product from Avast Marine!
Filtration media maintenance is one of those aquarium chores that is so easily procrastinated, but often makes a major difference in water quality when performed correctly and timely. Zeolites are specially selected to grow bacterial film (or mulm), and need to be stirred up multiple times per day to remove this slime and keep them running at peak efficiency, this is an integral part of the Zeovit system and it has always been a tedious manual chore until now.
Our system of periodic agitation, calibrated so that media particles are cleansed, yet without being blown everywhere and making a mess uses a special vibration-inducing assembly to gently turn and agitate media while loosening bacterial films. The Vibe is not meant to be run continuously, but, like our Swabbie, activated for a minute or so several times per day. This short cycle is all that is needed release the mulm into the aquarium. The short duty cycle and correctly calibrated vibration frequency and amplitude also ensures that friable media aren't destroyed during the cleaning.

Very Quality product
Easy to put together ,I had a bunch of leaks , all on me of course called customer support on how to fix leaks but to no avail still had leaks called customer service again because I continued to have leaks they were willing to repair chamber for me , but I had put so much glue on this thing it looked terrible so I purchased another chamber and they put it together for me at no extra charge , ‘product works beautifully and customer service is phenomenal
Fun
I tried a home made reactor were I got all of the parts from Home Depot for about $40. It didn't work and has long ago been carted away by our town sanitation engineers. I did enjoy the process of building a reactor. So when I saw the Vibe and that it came in a kit I was very excited. It was a little too easy to build, but I had fun and it came out really awesome. I did have a leak in the canister that I was able to fix very quickly with the left over glue. Now that it is up and running I would never have a Zeovit tank without a Vibe. I set mine on a digital timer for two minutes twice a day so I get a good dose of Mulm from the rocks. It is one less thing to worry about in my tank, which is what you want in a piece of equipment.
