Available in 3 different models that feature reverse flow water current for maximum water and Co2contact time with the coral media. All models come with PH probe holders to monitor Ph levels in the main reactor chamber and built in bubble counters to monitor Co2 drip rates. To help you meet the challenging task of maintaining alkalinity, calcium and trace elements , consider adding a Reef Octopus calcium reactor to your aquarium system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCALCIUM\/ALKALINITY DEMAND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 200 Gallon  Light Demand        |        150 Gallon  Medium Demand        |        100 Gallon  Heavy Demand \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechinical Specs\u003cbr\u003e  Body Size: 5.5in \u003cbr\u003e  Footprint: 12in x 11in\u003cbr\u003e  Total Height: 24in\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 Aquatrance 2000\u003cbr\u003e  Wattage: 45w\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":67799380197672,"sku":"OCT-CR140","price":531.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/6293\/4824\/files\/CR140.jpg?v=1790887637","url":"https:\/\/bubbleflowaquatix.com\/products\/reef-octopus-calcium-reactor-5-5-single-chamber-w-pump-oct-cr140","provider":"Bubble Flow Aquatix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
