3. Clean all parts under running water with a small brush (pict. 4). Hint: Only use water, no
detergents.
4. Reassemble the parts and install into the aquarium.
5. Enhancing the performance
The maximum capacity of the reactor 500 is reached when the inner tube is completely filled with
CO -gas and a pH of 7.0 – 7.4 cannot be reached. In this case, the capacity of the reactor can be
2
increased using an additional extension set. With this extension, it is possible to dissolve more CO
Up to 4 extension sets can be connected to the reactor.
Hint: If extension sets are used, the pump capacity has to be increased.

The amount of CO

(alcalinity) of the water. The higher the carbonate hardness, the higher is the CO
at the same pH-value. The toxic level of the CO
hardness.
At pH value 7.1 – 7.4 for fresh water and 8.1 – 8.4 for salt water, the balance between free CO
and carbonate hardness is reached. In this range, the CO
matter what the value of the carbonate hardness is.
