C-3002 Korallin Calcium Reactor, Rated 800G

Korallin C-3002—Rated for up to 800gal. Reactor height: approx. 28.00"; Diameter: 4.50"; Ground: 6.30"; Filling amount: 6 kgs (13.2lbs); Eheim 1048 Pump.

 

The already best-selling Kalkreaktor (Calcium Reactor) in Germany has become even better. It completely replaces Kalkwasser, 1 or 2-part Calcium/Buffer powder & liquid dosing. The new and improved Korallin kalkreaktor allows a simple, elegant and high efficiency production of calcium hydrogen carbonate including the necessary balanced carbonic acid. Sit back and watch your aquarium`s pH and dKH being kept at optimum levels. Together with our reliable CO2 System, this is the most maintenance-free Kalkreaktor setup in the world.

Ca2+ + 2HCO3 = Ca(HCO3)2 = CaCO3 + H2CO3 Calcium + Hydrogen Carbonate =

Calcium Hydrogen Carbonate = Calcium Carbonate + Carbonic Acid

A Kalkreaktor setup (ie: one with CO2 System and CaCO3 media) is expensive only at the beginning. You save money in the long term because a 5-pound CO2 refill lasts you 1.5 years on our Kalkreaktor (and only ours) while a 7-kg CaCO3 media lasts you up to 1 year! And no more tedious daily Calcium dosing. A pH Controller is not required for our Kalkreaktor because there is no chance for the excessive CO2 to escape into your system like ALL other brands on the market. A pH Monitor is a nice equipment to have for fast pH measuring. Though pH Test Kit and pH Pen-monitor can still be used for this purpose. 

 

The internal recirculation flow rate of the C-1502 is around 80 g/h. Since that this is a pressurized Kalkreaktor, the dissolution of the media by the carbonized water is enhanced. The effluent rate is only about 0.25 g/h at 40 drops/min. Thus explaining the efficient CO2 & media use. CO2 is being introduced into the Eheim powerhead direct—this is the most efficient Aspirating-Venturi method.

 

Features:

Top-loading & access w/ enhanced O-ring seal

`Auto-fill` Integrated Bubble Counter on one water circuit (ie: water never evaporates)

Detachable Tru-Union couplings w/ O-rings for easy handling, safe shipping, upgrading and leak proof

Integrated `industrial-grade` Brass Check Valve from German Air Pressure Systems to prevent back flow of pressurized saltwater

Improved engineering for stronger water circulation and suction

Secure German airline tubing connectors

Medical-use Miniature Quick Disconnect Couplings w/ shut-off 3 Inlet & outlet facing same direction

Special elbow for flexible airline tubing mounting

Heavy-duty Excelon construction w/ no unsightly and fragile hangover tubing

Top pump-mounting design

Self-suction water intake by the silent Eheim pump eliminates the use of a dedicated powerhead, gravity-fed or tee-off methods. It also serves for water recirculation.

Water circuit interruption in case of CO2 overdose—our exclusive CO2 Safety Feature

Visual excessive CO2 check w/ ventilation valve for quick release

Dual effluent outlets to suit different systems

Aspirating-Venturi technology utilizes only 10 CO2 bubbles/min. and up—most efficient use of both CO2 gas and CaCO3 media

The most compact and versatile positioning Kalkreaktor in its class—6.25" small foot print + 15.75" total height—external or in-sump

Micro-adjustable miniature ball valve to maintain a consistent effluent drip rate

Slightly larger (German size) airline tubing for more consistent water flow

Strainer to protect Eheim pump from loose media particles
