Switching from atomizer to reactor

[Htomassini]

I think it all depends on the tank. For example, some people get great results from diffusers, others from fractionators, reactors, etc. there are so many configurations, flow rates and co2 demands that it's impossible to rate best.

Here's the reactor I am using...



Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Hey,

Looks good, I would be concerned about the small size of the brass barbs as that size will limit flow... what are they 5/8?

Not sure about the use of the elbows????

The brass barbs are 5/8 as my eheim hose have a nice tight fit on them.

The elbows, in my opinion, would allow for a nicer flow of water as oppose to a sharp 90 degree turn.

Hi,

No disrespect intended...I was surprised to see elbows PERIOD. I had not seen a reactore with them before is all.. Most have straight on inlet/outlets....

I agree with the use as they are better. I like the sweep elbows as well....

Thanks Gerry. How long do you think I should wait for the PVC cement to cure prior to connecting it to the tank?
