Red Sea 500 Reactor...

[djrusselljoseph]

Hello everyone!
Love this site to no end. Information is abundant and people are helpful.

Here is probably my first 'question' type of post.

Just added a the above mentioned reactor. Running 1 2L bottle C02. Was just told by a friend that I probably don't have enough. Is there some sort of guide as to how much C02 I require for this size of tank?
I also added a video, link is below.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure on the actual accepted number, but for a 10ish i think its 1 2 liter, for a 29 maybe 2, and for a 55 maybe 3-4. Usually above 55 gallons people suggest going pressurized, but I'd imagine it'd be close to 6 2liter bottles.

Thanks krap101 for the feedback.

6???

maaaaannnnn...I don't have the time for that lol.

Pressurized is not an option. I have a 2 year that just won't quit. There is no way I can keep that setup around here with him. Nuh uh, no way.

Good thing most of the plants I have right now low to moderate light, I will try my luck and add 1 more 2L.

I DO appreciate your feedback.
