CO2-Reaktor

thingiverse

This device is a high-tech CO2-Reactor designed specifically for aquariums, capable of effortlessly increasing the pH level. To maintain optimal control, it's essential to regulate this process using a timer-switch. Connect your CO2-magnetvalve from the main CO2 tank to a bubble counter and gradually introduce the CO2 into the Reactor at a rate of 1-5 bubbles per second. After exactly five minutes, activate the CO2-Reactor pump inside the device. Once the pH reading reaches an acceptable level, shut down the pump and close the valve. For this setup, I utilized the SM-038 600l/h pump from Amazon. To secure the bottom cover of the housing, apply a generous amount of silicone sealant. Alternatively, you can remove the supporting material entirely from the suck-in chamber or leave it intact and fill the space with small bio balls to promote swift mixing of the water and CO2 gas.
