Hi all,
Has anyone seen/heard/purchased this new CO2 reactor. I'm a junkie for new gadgets so just ordered the 1000 model for £29 (although won't receive for two weeks).
I'm thinking of swapping my UP Atomizer for this reactor. The amount of CO2 diffusing through my Atomizer has changed yet again last night (now too much mist) and I'm getting tired of adjusting manually. I guess my JBL ProFlora regulator just can't cope with the pressure required for this diffuser. So rather then fiddle with my regulator, thought I'd try this new reactor.
My biggest concern is pump flow reduction (I'm hooking this up to my Fluval G6 output hose).
This is what the “Innovative sera CO2 technology†website section says:
Dissolving larger amounts of CO2 for supplying plants in an aquarium is not successful with most reactors available on the market. However, the two new sera flore CO2 active reactors dissolve the CO2 entirely and without remainders - and if required, even in larger amounts (the bigger one deals with up to 1,000 CO2 bubbles per minute). The units (sera flore CO2 active reactor 500 for aquariums up to 600 liters and sera flore CO2 active reactor 1,000 for aquariums above 600 liters) are usually installed outside the aquarium in a cabinet (installation within larger aquariums is also possible) and integrated into the outlet water flow of the present external filter. With its pump, the external filter operates the double rotor of the CO2 active reactor, which disperses the CO2 directed into the active reactor and dissolves it by 100 %.
