Description

Marine aquariums with soft corals, stony corals, snails or calcareous algae need regular additives of calcium and bicarbonate ions. In 1989, TUNZE Aquarientechnik was the first manufacturer to build a CO2 controlled calcium reactor. A pump is used to pass water enriched with carbon dioxide through the hardness granulate. The carbon dioxide reacts with water to produce carbon dioxide gas and dissolves the calcium carbonate. The hardened water leaves the reactor through a control cock.

Today’s generation of automatic calcium reactors combine high efficiency and a compact size, consisting of a reactor with pump and the Comline housing. Calcium Automat 3170 needs no additional supply pump, and is operational with a minimum water level of 60mm (2.3"). It is suitable for operation in the aquarium as well as in a cabinet filter.

The set-up:

Transparent reactor housing with pump and water distribution in one unit.
Granulate content: 1,100 ml (37.1 fl. Oz.)
Comline housing for attachment and light protection for direct operation in the aquarium.
Dissolution of the Co2 in the pump housing and recirculation of the undissolved gases permit an especially economical CO2 consumption.
Easy refill of the granulate by a screw cover.
Adjustment of the drip rate by means of a precise control cock.
Can be used as a “stand-alone" solution.
Silent operation.

For complete operational safety, we recommend the use of a CO2 controller 7074/2 fitted with a pH meter and CO2 valve. In this case the pH meter will control the infeed of CO2 in accordance with the setpoint value entered. The danger of excessively low pH values during the night is averted.

Delivery condition: Ready for mounting with hardness granulate, bubble counter, pump and holding device. * CO2 equipment sold separately.

Specifications:

Dimensions: 4.9"L x 4.4"W x 11.8"H
Immersion Depth: Approximately 2.3" to 11"
Filling Volume: 1,100 ml (38.7 fl. Oz.)
Capacity: 200 to 1,000 liters (52 to 264 gal.)
Power Consumption: 10W

NOTE: Most Marine Depot products are sold in 110V conversions. Please verify your country’s volt conversion before making any electrical purchase.

Tech Support Anyone? by LUIS TODD

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 11/30/2007 from EL PASO, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: Nice compact unit, fits perfectly in my sump. Pre-filled with Ca media and tubing. The first unit I received was in pieces (broken by shipper? long journey from Germany?) Great customer service at Marine Depot, had a new unit in two days.Problem: I have not been able to control the effluent out of this reactor; instructions are in three languages but are very general, no drawings and on this matter of effluent control they just say that the reactor has a "precise stopcock" but not how it works, a specific drawing or a tech support number would be helpful. I will keep trying to get precise effluent control as this is critical for Ca dosing.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
