There are many companies offering these products and design services (see p.282 of PSMs Buying Guide & Directory, Special Product

They offer an ideal combination of significant surface area for nitrifying biological faculties while exploiting the unlimited availability of oxygen (in atmospheric air) in the moist environment of the media chamber. Since the media is

As you progress in reading about these marine system variations, you will find a definite shift in "difficulty", or better put, a narrowing tolerance to poor or varying environmental quality. Obviously all types of systems have a fluid-filled box, the aquarium, in common. Reef systems have more stringent requirements of water quality and lighting, and the smaller the reef system the more exacting the water quality concerns.
