As soon as the
Calciumreactor
is placed in the right position and all connections are ready, the
water flow can be started. Then, the reactor is filled up with water until water comes out of the
outlet. Now, the circulation pump can be started and the CO
2
can be switched on.
The quantity of CO
2
has to be adjusted the way that the pH value in the aquarium does not drop
below pH 8.0. Within the reactor itself, the pH value should drop to pH 6.5. It is possible to control
the pH value in the reactor, e. g. by the Aqua Medic
ph-computer
. Next to the top (8, 9) are holes
to put in a pH electrode. The electrode has to be pressure resistant and needs to have a standard
thread (PG 13,5).
The backflow of the calciumbicarbonate enriched water into either the aquarium or the filter tank
should be directed to a well-flushed place in order to mix it immediately with the aquarium water.
This avoids instabilities of the pH value.
3. 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. It has to be re-adjusted with a drop counter. In case of polluted water, the
adjustment valve in the water inflow has to be cleaned from time to time.
