So I bought one of those for my DIY CO2….

Short story:
Forgot about nano ceramic diffusers this is a great item highly recommended specially for DIY CO2 users, however if you want to use it with external filter you have to make a adjustment to it.
Long story:
This is the new design of the Ista Max Mix reactors. The item came in original packed, however I was expecting much bigger unit (something like the old Ista large Mix Max reactor).
I wanted to hook it up to my external filter ( 1400 l/h ), however this reactor (I think) is made for eternal pump as it has connectors for hose size of 12/16 mm.
So when I came home and try to hook it up obviously the hose on my external was too big. However I came up with idea to put 12/16 mm hose on the connectors and then put hose of my external 15/20 mm on top of it. This fitted nicely and I do not have any leaks or sucking air.
For such a small unit the reactor performing just unbelievable great. With 4-5 bubbles / second I can not see any bubbles coming out of my spay-bar. PH dropped in no time and my plants start to pearl AGAIN
It does not seems to slow to flow of my filter much what was scarred off.
Also I love the bracket which came with this reactor as I can stick it to the side of my external filter. Very cool indeed
Overall highly recommended item as I said never had such good CO2 level in my tank before
