If you take the media out there is not point in having one, the media is within the canister / reactor to break up the co2 bubble into smaller bubbles, there is another advantage of the media within the canister / reactor - additional bacteria colony but the media slows down the returning water - you will be ok to fit a reactor as you have an additional filter and two HK pumps within your tank.
has nothing to do with it.the turbulence of the water going from a small diameter, high pressure, to large diameter lower pressure causes diffusion of the co2
which I have found more than sufficient for tanks up to 400L.Flyfisherman said:due to the direction of the flow of water opposing the gas bubbles, the gas bubbles are dissolved
jonnyjr said:Once the gas reaches the top of the reactor due to not fully dissolving whilst rising up, it is the turbulence cause by the water entering the reactor that dissolves the co2 further, regardless of how the co2 is diffused you are missing my point that it is misleading saying there is no point having the reactor if you take the bio balls out, you just confirmed your self thatwhich I have found more than sufficient for tanks up to 400L.Flyfisherman said:due to the direction of the flow of water opposing the gas bubbles, the gas bubbles are dissolved
Flyfisherman said:I stated if there is no media with the reactor there is no point inn having one as the media breaks the gas up.

hazeljane said:Hi all, Is anyone familiar with these reactors?? :?: :?: I like the look of these and they have 16/22mm connecters that might not slow the flow as much??? They are being sold on ebay some place in Germany.
Thanks in advance 😀 😀
