- Mounting outside the aquarium
The reactor 1000 may be mounted at a wall or inside the aquarium cabinet. In this case, only the
holding plate No. 7 is used which is screwed directly on the wall or on the cabinet. If the reactor
1000 is used externally, make sure that both water connections are tightened and the O-rings (9)
are correctly mounted.
Now, both holding clips (5) are mounted in the holding plate (7).
First of all, put one pin of the clip into the holder and then let the second pin snap with pressure.
Then, push the entire clip down. The reactor 1000 is pressed into the climps.
Connections
Water inlet: The water inlet is connected to the upper hose connection of the reactor 1000 (2).
For water supply, a separate pump (min. 1,000 l/h, 250 gph) or the water outlet of a canister filter
may be used. A stronger circulation improves the solution of the carbon dioxide. If the circulation
pump is too strong, the reactor can be mounted in a bypass.
Water back flow: The lower connecting piece of the reactor 1000 will be connected with a hose
12/16 mm, back to the aquarium.
The CO is connected to the pressure fitting (3): Make sure that a non-return valve is mounted
2
between the reactor and the bubble-counter of the CO -unit. The CO is directed downwards inside
2 2
the reactor by a hose. By this counter-current flow, the dissolving of gas is optimized. The
Bactoballs give an extra turbulence.
Ventilation: The air in the reactor can be removed by the valve (4) during starting. Also the false
gas which can accumulate in the reactor during operation, can be absorbed by opening the tap for
a short time.
Please always take care that the hoses do not bend.
3. Operation/Set Up
A pressure regulator has to be installed onto the CO store bottle before the CO reactor can be
2 2
set up. Please read the operation manual relating to this device carefully. We recommend the
pressure regulator regular of our CO program.
2
After having installed the pressure regulator and the CO reactor as stipulated, the setting up of
2
the CO reactor can be started.
2
1. Switch on the circulation pump for the water flow.
2. Open the main valve of the CO bottle.
