Co2 reactor

[PEPSI]

Hello, is it Ok only to submerge 3/4 of my Co2 reactor into the water?? Cos i got horzontal glass blocking at the top of my tank. My inlet of water flow and Co2 flow into the reactor is above water level. Will any Co2 escape ? Thank

what reactor are you using?

Do a pH/KH test to determine whether if your CO2 concentration is enough...if it is enough then the loss is negligible.

You can get elbows at LFs to help divert both your piping around the bracing so that your CO2 is under water.

Anyway, if your using the green transparent Taiwan made reactors, they seem pretty air-tight... shouldn't be a major problem to keep you reactor that way.

Ya I m using those green reactor with a black ball inside. Brand is (small crab) never say made in taiwan. And the portion that water flow in is not totally fill with water. And it is that part that is out of the water surface

As long as it's airtight, shouldn't be a problem.

Hi,

I have a cheap and good reactor that I modified to place outside the tank. It cost $15 and it had worked well for 2 years already. I do not know how to post the pic here. If you show me, I will post it.

FC,
