that the pH-value in the aquarium does not drop below pH 7.8. Within the reactor itself, the pH-
value should drop to pH 5.9 - 6.0. It is possible to control the pH-value in the reactor by e. g. the
Aqua Medic pH-Controller or the pH Computer. In the top, there is a hole to srew in a pH
electrode.
The back flow of the calciumbicarbonate enriched water either into the aquarium or filter tank
should be directed to a well-flushed place in order to mix it immediately with aquarium water. This
avoids instabilities of the pH-value.
6. Maintenance
The Aqua Medic Hydrocarbonate is consumed by the chemical reaction and has to be refilled from
time to time. Every 1 - 2 years, it should be replaced completely. Also the flow rate should be
checked regularly.
