Reef Octopus VarioS CR220 DC Calcium Reactor

Reef Octopus VarioS CR220 9-inch Calcium ReactorThe VarioS CR is perfectly capable of meeting the challenging task of maintaining alkalinity, calcium, and trace elements on a demanding reef system. 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 a 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.CALCIUM/ALKALINITY DEMANDHEAVY – 300 gal.MEDIUM – 400 gal.LIGHT – 500 gal.Reef Octopus VarioS CR220 9 inch Calcium ReactorThe VarioS CR is perfectly capable of meeting the challenging task of maintaining alkalinity, calcium and trace elements on a demanding reef system.Quality, design and controllability define the Reef Octopus VarioS Calcium Reactor series.

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.Automated 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.RATED FOR AQUARIUMS UP TO 500 GALLONSEfficient Variable Speed DC PumpApex ReadyReverse flow and CO2 Recirculating DesignAuto Fill Bubble CounterProbe Holder w/Plug*Easy to Remove LidPrecision Effluent Control ValveSolid Construction1/4″quick connect fittings* Does not include PH probe.Product code: 7270Item No. CR-OCT-CALR220
