CO2 Reactor set up

[stejjones]

I have just purchased the following:

dosing pump
PH controller
CO2 reactor kit inc. bubble counter

Can someone guide me on how to set this all up?
i.e in terms of positioning the dosing pump etc.

Does the pump need to be above the water level in my tank for instance?
And how do I realise the water ascending upwards? Is this done with additional pumps or other means?



Any help much appreciated.

Is the CO2 a pressurized or from DIY/yeast? Dosing pumps do not move much water and are used to dose other nutrients from solution. If your CO2 reactor is powered, you'll need a more substantial pump or powerhead. Details of your exact setup (model numbers, etc) or pics will help members to guide you.

I would assume a Controller means pressurized.

I'm not 100% sure of what you mean by the questions.

a Co2 reactor (powered) works by pushing water down a tube or cylinder. The Co2 naturally tries to rise, only to be pushed by the water. Keeping it in a constant form of suspension. The water flow also breaks up the bubbles into smaller bubbles.
