Do you need a Water Director? Our open-basket design allows you to choose whether or not to use a water director. While not necessary, using one will redirect the flow towards the center of the basket. If your media is submerged and the water is cycling, it will effectively cycle the media. Other media baskets on the market may require a water director to force water through to cycle, but not ours. Our water director allows you to still use the OE protein skimmer if you prefer to use one.

Filter Floss Replacement: Purchase our pre-cut filter pads for easy maintenance, or make your own by cutting them to size. Opt for our monthly subscription for convenience! We highly recommend using 1/2" or 3/4" thick filter floss for optimal results. (1/2" is shown in the picture).
Note: Not for use with a 2nd chamber skimmer, this media basket fills the complete chamber.

I wanted a media rack that I could pack with lots of media and chaeto. The stock one was flimsy and stuff would spill out from the shelves / racks, making the rack hard to remove from chamber 2. So I bought the InTank solution. While the InTank is a good product, it's not ideal for BioCubes with upgraded return pumps / high turnover rates. Anything more than ~350 GPH and the water director will cause the water level in your display to back up and spill through the overflow slots, as well as the sides of the water director itself. I'm running a Sicce 3.0 which has over 700 GPH and combined with my wavemaker, at least half of the water was not going into the InTank rack. Food and fish poop was getting through and getting stuck in the mesh filter between chambers 2 and 3.
With the media basket from Kreative Reefer, there is no water director required so the water flows from chamber 1 to chamber 2 unrestricted, solving the water level problem in the display tank. Furthermore, because it occupies the entire area of chamber 2, you can rest assured that the filter floss will catch everything, whereas not 100% of the water was going through the filter floss with the InTank solution.
I run filter floss on top, ChemiPure Blue on the next shelf, then Purigen on the shelf after that with a bag of SeaChem Matrix on top it, and lastly, a bag of rock rumble in the bottom shelf / basket with chaeto on top of it. The bag of rock rumble help the chaeto sit right above the black acrylic for maximum light exposure.
If you have a BioCube with high-flow, buy the Kreative Reefer media basket. Even if you don't have high-flow, but want an all-in-one media basket + fuge, buy it. It's the superior solution, in my opinion. Build quality is great, shipping is fast and well-packed against damage, and the customer service is prompt and friendly.
Amazing! Absolutely love it. Fits like a glove and comubication was great as well. Answered all my questions within 24 hours. Thank you!
The stock Coralife media basket is a flimsy POS. The KR basket is very well made and sturdy. It's also able to hold much more filter media. I purchased the water director as well, but this basically just causes the floss to get dirty on the left side instead of the right. I may start taking the director off when I change out floss, then put it back on after a couple days to make full use of the floss.
I love the biocube media basket. It works incredibly well and fits perfectly in the middle chamber. I highly recommend one if you have a biocube. I would definitely buy more from kreative reef. I had a small crack in water channelizer but they took care of me and replaced it immediately. I will definitely look for more on their site!!
so far, I have no complaints if it’s perfectly in my tank.
