Installation and start of operation:
1. Fix the enclosed suction cups to the reactor.
2. Install the reactor on an inner pane of the aquarium.
3. Connect the outlet of your CO ² -supply to the CO ² -input of the reactor (illustration: CO ² ).
4. Install the appropriate size adaptor into the existing water filtration circuit of your aquarium.
(PIease also refer to the instructions for all other equipment.) The reactor may need its own
pump only if your existing pump is very low-powered. (item no. 80360, Turbo Mini)
5. Use the black hose to connect the output of the adaptor to the hose input of the reactor
(illustration: H ² O).
6. Carefully open the fine needle valve of the CO ² -fitting watching the escaping bubbles in the
reactor (bubble counter).
7. Initial setting: a bubble count of 10 % of the tank content per minute has proved beneficial
as an initial setting. This means 20 bubbles per minute in a 200 l aquarium 30 bubbles per
minute for a 300 l aquarium.
8. According to the CO ² -level of the aquarium water, the CO ² -visual test shows a coloration
ranging from blue to green.
9. If the permanent CO ² test already turns yellow after a short time, the CO ² bubble count must
be reduced until the permanent test becomes green again.
10. If the permanent test still shows a blue colour after one day, the bubble count must be increased.
Please note: The CO ² Permanent Test already reacts after around 10 minutes. However, if there is too much CO ² in the
aquarium for example, it may take several hours before it is consumed. CO ² quantities in excess of 30 mg/l can be harmful
to fish. This is why it is a good idea to slowly edge towards the optimum bubble counts. We recommend you only increase the
bubble count by a few bubbles once per minute.
Care of the reactor: The cascade inside the reactor should be kept clean. Cleaning is very simple. Remove the lower
screen cap and pull out the caskade. The interior of the reactor is cleaned using the brush set (item no. 80205), at least once
every 14 days. Clean the bubble counter chamber with the supplied small brush.

CO ² Permanent Test
Special features:
· simplicity of use
· registered patent (no. 2854 447)
· measurement indication is easy to read
Note: The indicator liquid (indicator reagent + aquarium water) should be up to date at all times, that is the carbonate
hardness is to be the same as in the aquarium water. The indicator liquid should therefore be exchanged after every water
change, at least once every 14 days. In case the visual test indicates two different colour nuances, this means that the CO ² -value
is just changing (e. g. the upper edge shows blue while at the bottom it is still green: CO ² content is reducing). The CO ² -visual test
gives results within 10 minutes. From time to time the O-rings have to be greased lightly with silicone grease (item no. 80397).
Protect the CO ² -test against algae.
