Description

Reactor diffusers provide excellent levels of CO2 diffusion by ensuring the CO2 cannot escape the reactor unit until it has fully diffused in the aquarium water. This means there is very little CO2 wastage, and a reactor will pay for itself in the long run vs a regular diffuser.

The reactor also contains rough and pitted plastic balls, which provide a surface that the CO2 can attach and remain in suspension in the water until it is completely diffused.

Instructions

  • Reactors are installed on the return / outflow tubing from a filter as the water is reintroduced to the aquarium.
  • This range of submersible reactors *must* be installed within the aquarium.
  • Cut or replace your filter tubing with PVC tubing.
  • Attach filter tubing to corresponding inlet/outlet of the reactor.
  • Connect CO2 supply to CO2 inlet of the reactor.
  • Turn filter and CO2 on and allow reactor to fill with water.
  • Invert (turn upside down) the reactor to eject any trapped air.
  • Adjust CO2 rate until desired level of dosing is achieved.

    This simple reactor dissolves CO2 with 100% efficiency, plus it doesn't create those annoying micro bubbles that disturb your viewing of the aquarium. I've removed the black plastic balls from mine and set it up inverted: water in the top and CO2 in the bottom - that way it acts as a bubble counter too! Excellent results. Recommended.

    This product is useless! I bought it to increase the co2 dissolution however it doesn't serve the purpose. The CO2 just pops out the other end. I am going back to my ceramic diffuser which worked better than this. This product is useless! I bought it to increase the co2 dissolution however it doesn't serve the purpose.

    It traps the CO2 inside the unit well but some does escape so I put some filter sponge in the bottom to trap any CO2 trying to escape. It traps the CO2 inside the unit well but some does escape so I put some filter sponge in the bottom to trap any CO2 trying to escape.
