You were close... went with the 612... should be plenty for my tank.
Just need to squeeze this all into my stand now. :confused:

Matheson reg with a clippard mouse solenoid i see there

Nice addition. Saw the Geo reactors in Macna and with the Co2 doser thingy and a peristaltic pump they looked very easy to setup and tune.

What's the c02 doser thingy? The AP Carbon Doser they sell on their site? I've had that one before.
And did they mention when their pump was coming out?
I'm just going to use a sicce for now.

 

[maroun.c]

Yes the Ap varbon doser, thought it was a neat add on to make it easier to control Co2. Are u going to T the output of that sicce? Will that give.a constant flow or is it worth investing in a peristaltic pump for a more consistent flow through the reactor. I'm comparing the add one and cost to getting a Dastaco that would be easier to tune but more expensive.

 

[d2mini]

Yeah, the AP is just a cheap single stage reg with cheap solenoid inside a big plastic box.
It works fine and is a good option, but a dual stage reg is a better way to go... no c02 dump, just as easy to use, and will last forever.
And this one I got was the same price as the AP.

I've used a masterflex before, but wasn't have a problem feeding with an MJ before that.
So I'll see how it goes this time. I will control the flow with a valve and fine tune with the ph.

 

[d2mini]

Got it all hooked up and running.
Now to start tuning it in. :)

The only spot I have for this stuff is in front of the sump, but I can slide things around if needed.
For instance, the tank can slide close to the reactor so I can do fuge maintenance.

Please excuse Nona. Curiosity ya know. ;)

Looks like it's cat approved!

Thanks! :)

Was going in the right direction, then the wrong direction, now the right direction. Let's hope it stays on course now! :D
