Which Co2 reactor

[Marc1t]

Hi there
Iv had a really frustrating time with co2 diffusers it's been driving me mad! I'm on my 4th 2 were the ones you can dismantle for cleaning, one by one after only a few days they all leaked co2 or cracked under the pressure which needs to be high at about 30 /35psi for them to work. Gave up with that & bought a sera flora 1000 reactor worked really well until it cracked at the inlet within a week & leaked I am waiting for a replacement, might just get my money back, & in the mean time I'm back to in line.
Can anybody recommend a really good co2 reactor I don't mind paying a fortune for it within reason as long as it's reliable which WILL NOT leak, break, explode or spontaneously combust within a couple of days or 100 years for that matter??
Cheers
Marc

Hey Marc

I am following Foxfishes guide and building my own.

Here it is - http://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/high-flow-diy-reactor-now-with-video.23337/

I have given up on the inline atomisers too, they either break or clog up. Some people have not problems with them, but they don't work for me.

Pretty good.
Funnily enough Iv just seen a similar thread on another forum but the design is the other way round in that instead of the plastic bottle they have used a plastic tube which is the outlet, water and gas is fed Ito the housing which swirls around & up through the tube. Which is better who knows
Might have a crack at making one of these
Thanks

I tried a few one but the best results i got are with the aqua-medic version:

That looks a good bit of kit! I noticed you have a 12/16 hose attached to they do a 16/22 version?

They only have a 12/6 version of it: http://www.aqua-medic.de/index.php?r=catalog/product&id=13&cid=5

But you can place a short 12/16 hose on it and a 16/22 over that one.
Some people use this model to make there own diy version of it. Than you can use custom parts that suits the hose type.
