Mother of all Calicium Reactors 5 Stage Marinetech

support@proline · #1 09-13-2006, 06:28 AM

Another new piece of equipment we are very excited about
Marinetech 5 stage calcium reactor

stage 1 : to disolve the CO2 in water through the chamber with Bioballs

stage 2 :Main chamber 8" diameter with gas recycling compartment on the top
stage 3 : second media chamber
stage 4: this chamber is used for PO4 removing media to rid the effluent of PO4
stage 5: small air stone will inject air into the chamber to exchange gases
(CO2-> 02) which in return will increase the ph of the effluent

you can see the gas recycling compartment that will take any bubble back to the pump for recycling (top) the side fitting with the needle valve is to regulate the flow from main chamber to the third chamber
also you can see the Probe fitting on the top of first stage in this picture

first chamber & bubble counter

PO4 removing media stage

last chamber with the airstone

This thing is insane

,but we love it.
Very high quality & well thought unit

Very cool. Does it come with a free one day seminar LOL.

Nice thought put into it.

Looks intimidating.
What kind of pump comes with it?

It doesn't come with a pump Lando, it comes with a cold fusion reactor and flux capacitor LOL

hmm, I thought it runs on bio-diesel.

I was not aware that phosphate was released from calcium reactor media, can you expand on this?

mr_alberta · #7 09-13-2006, 05:02 PM

Calcium media contains some phosphates (some more than others or so I've heard). So when you dissolve the media, everything that is in the media is released.

Very Impressive!!! Is there other size? This reactor is good for how many gallons? Thanks!

Hi Guys
It comes with a sedra 5000 KSP ,foot print is 9.5" x 16 " & height is 30"
Main chamber is 8" diameter cast acrylic.
It depends to how populated your tank is & what kind of animals you are keeping but it should easily do up to a 500 gal tank for more than 500 gal we have the same reactor with a bigger pump.
As Mr alberta mentioned all CA media contain phosphate some very high ,specially for SPS tanks this is a great feature.
