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. Afterwards, 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 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.
