so the fuction is similar as fluval filter ?

Sorta, but the key difference is that the reactor operates at a much slower flow rate allowing the media to freely percolate which makes the media much more effective. In a canister filter like a fluval you have to use a media bag which results in a lot of bypass and the flow rate is also too high to optimize contact time.
