Quality, design and controllability define the Reef Octopus VarioS Calcium Reactor series. Available in 3 different models that feature the new VarioS variable speed pump and reverse flow water current reactor design to maximum water and Co2contact time with the media. All models come with PH probe holder(probe and PH controller sold separately) to monitor Ph levels in the main reactor chamber and built in bubble counters to monitor Co2 drip rates. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow it works\u003cbr\u003e  A calcium reactor is essentially a chamber full of aragonite, which is the crushed skeleton of ancient hard corals. Aquarium water is pumped through this chamber along with pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 lowers the pH in the chamber to an acidic level which dissolves aragonite media into the aquarium water. In addition to dissolving the calcium, this process also dissolves nearly all the minerals and trace elements the coral used in order to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomated Calcium and Alkalinity supplementation - When set up properly and used correctly, a calcium reactor can maintain or increase calcium levels with little to no maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVARIOS CR-140 TECHNICAL SPECS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Size: 5.5in \u003cbr\u003e  Footprint: 12.2in x 9.1in\u003cbr\u003e  Total Height: 23in\u003cbr\u003e  Media Capacity: 3.8L (1gal)\u003cbr\u003e  Inlet Size: 1\/4in\u003cbr\u003e  Max Feed Rate: 150GPH \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: Suggest a feed pressure slightly higher than a full flowing influent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecirculation Pump Information\u003cbr\u003e  Reef Octopus VarioS 2 variable speed pump\u003cbr\u003e  Max Wattage: 25w\u003cbr\u003e  Apex Ready Control via 0-10V\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarranty - 2 year warranty on pump and 1 year on reactor body \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reef Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67799380164904,"sku":"OCT-CALR140","price":773.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6293\/4824\/files\/CALR140.jpg?v=1790887635","url":"https:\/\/bubbleflowaquatix.com\/products\/reef-octopus-calcium-reactor-5-5-dc-single-chamber-wvarios-2-oct-calr140","provider":"Bubble Flow Aquatix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
