Lime reactors
We offer the following lime reactors:
Lime reactor 110
Factory new:
- base area 270 X 180 mm
- height 550 mm
- tube diameter 110 mm
- pump Aqua bee UP 2000 15 W
- water intake from the aquarium or external pump Co² recirculation
- exhaustion of external gases
- water outlet 6 mm
- filling level with coral gravel up to bottom edge of the water recirculation (approx. 270mm)
- recommended filling with coral gravel grain 10-15 mm (about 2 kg)
- if the coral gravel is really fine, a rough-textured sponge should be used
- the coral gravel is evenly passed through
Advantages of the lime reactor:
- quick and easy filling
- high rate of flow and therefore no accumulation of mud
- steady-going circulation
Please note:
The lime reactor should always stand below the water outlet, otherwise it has to be connected to a discharge-line. Depending on the use of carbonic acid and the dwell time of the water, a really high hardness increase can be achieved. Ideally, this reactor should be operated at a pH-value of about 6,5-6,9.
In order to achieve this value, the CO2 supply inside the bubble counter should be set up as follows: Every minute there should be approx. 60 CO2 bubbles ascending inside the bubble counter, so that every minute about 160 ml of water is leaving the reactor's exit.
If the CO2 supply is higher water throughput has to be set up. The rate of flow has to be adjusted that the ideal value of KH 8-10 is reached. The water output should be checked regularly with a PH-meter, so that the ideal value inside the reactor stays at a ph-value of 6,5-6,9.
Alternatively, the lime reactor can also be controlled via a ph-control unit. This regulates the ideal value (ph value 6,5-6,9) automatically. The coral graved is constantly moved because of the rising bubbles and the high perfusion, so that a potential accumulation of mud is avoided.
Important!
This system regulates the water supply via the water input.
