In sea water the CO2 Reactor can be used for the injection method for CO2. This method is practicable however only in nitrogen and phosphate-limited tanks (both substances should be at the detection limit). In hard coral breeding tanks the growth can be offered with this method easily by offering inorganic carbon (CO2 – hydrogen carbonate - carbonate) to the hard corals. In aquariums, that are fed very well and therefore phosphate and nitrate are well present, this method should not be used in any case. Otherwise algae will grow very fast and may damage the corals. We advise urgently to use the CO2 Reactor within the sea water range only with pH value control (pH measuring and controller, solenoid valve).
In fresh water (amazon type) one of the main conditions is the supply of CO2 for healthy and strong plant structure. How much CO2 one aquarium needs depends on several factors:
The lower carbonate hardness the less CO2 is needed on the one hand to press down the pH value under 7.0 and on the other hand to nourish the plants. Is any carbonate hardness available (0°dKH) - e.g. water from a good reverse osmosis plant - additional carbon dioxide dosage is not necessary. To operate an aquarium without carbonate hardness it will work however only, if very many plants are in the tank and only very few fish with a corresponding food needs are nursed. If too much is fed a pH fall may happen, which may end for fish and plants deadly.
If many fish are kept in the aquarium the carbonate hardness should be 3-4 °dKH. The carbonate hardness can be supplied to the water automatically with KH plus, Triple Buffer, Mineral Salt or can be produced with a mineral filter directly behind the reverse osmosis plant. The necessary carbon dioxide quantity for the right pH value can be easily supplied with the CO2 Reactor. If hard to very hard water is in the aquarium, the CO2 Reactor must be number larger, in order to regulate the pH value deeply enough.
