reactor

Hey guys, welcome to the journal of my self build riparium! After many many years of lurking on this awesome forum finally my own tankthread here :) Just for all you to know i'm dutch so english is not my main language. So it can be a little bit 'challenging' for me and you from time to time...

I was asked earlier today through PM to share how I built my CO2 reactor. Unfortunately at the time I build it 3 years ago, I didn't really record the process but I did take some pictures here and there. I thought perhaps it would be beneficial to the community to share some of these pictures...

Hello all, I DIYd a K1 media reactor the standard way (university of YouTube) , using a 2 litre bottle, ballast, airstone, holes at 2 zones, air escape holes in cap... they kept turning beautifully for 6 months. then over a few days, they just stopped. I took out media, rinsed in tank water...

I have just converted from using an in tank diffuser to an external reactor to mix my co2 and eliminate the fizzy look. Using the diffuser, my pressurised sodastream system ran at about 2 bubbles per second and turned the drop checker to an ideal lime green. Now I have the co2 running at 3...

Hi All, I am new to this forum but I have been directed here for some useful advice. A little bit of research: I would like peoples opinions on CO2 reactors and Diffusers (ceramic) and which would be better for a large 6ft aquarium. I have read multiple threads on different forums, some...

In my run for a new nano tank (30L) I have some stuff to buy. So I've got myself a Dennerle CO2 Primus 160 set, 500 g disposable bottles, with a Mini-Flipper. But this flipper is one ugly thing and oversized for my nano. Is it possible to use another diffuser / atomizer / reactor? I suppose...

There is something going on with my CO2 system I'd like to see explained f possible. I have set up a system which uses DIY molasses and yeast CO2 bottles, 6 of them, controlled by a solenoid. The system shuts off on lights out, but of course the yeast keeps producing CO2. The molasses...

Hi everyone, It has happened again. :eek: First I noticed my plants shedding its leaves and then a sudden burst of green spot algae on most of the plants. Having experienced this a few weeks ago, I noted that the size of Co2 bubbles from the inline diffuser via the spraybar were bigger than...

I started my first planted tank about 7 months ago and apart from a brief positive experience and for reasons i'm not too clear on (definitely co2) my tank started to decline. A slow process of browning and negligible growth. I added new plants with the same results (it's not cheap replanting a...
