Knop C Calcium Reactor Input

GregD · 11-19-2001, 06:20 PM

I just bought a used Knop-C calcium reactor that came without any manuals or instructions and was wondering how people feed water into the reactor???

The different methods i have heard to feed reactors in general include (gravity, suction, or pump)

The input line seems very tiny to be hooked to a pump (airline tubing diameter)....any assistance in setup and use would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg D.

Greg,
I'm not to familiar with a Knop reactor but I would think a small powerhead (maxi-jet 1200) would work great. Set it up so the effluet rate is about 60 ml per minute to start and see how it does.

Maybe somebody else with a knop reactor will have better advice. I use a Geo dual stage reactor.
