Korallin Calcium Reactor

Hi Reefers out there,

Jus curious regards the Korallin Calcium Reactor...

How many of you use a pump to feed water into the CA??

or do you siphon water in???

[Achilles Tang]

Been using it for a long time. Upgraded from C1502 to C10002.

I feed water in using a pump, both models.

What about siphoning???

Does that work???

Cos I seem to have problem with siphon breaks....

And which inlet did you pump water into??

[Achilles Tang]

You see the word 'inlet'... that's where the water is suppose to go in.

Don't trust siphon, use a pressurized pump to bring water into the unit.

I wrap my pump with floss, because from my experience, detritus will collect in your kalkreactor.. which is not good.

LOLz! what else do you need? Anyway, i should have brought the adaptor along but i assumed you do not need it.

sharkbait,

Do you mean the adaptor to connect the outlet of a powerhead to a air-line tubing? Sort of like a reducer??

If yes. May i know where to get one?

[yazid]

I've got one spare which Ian bought for me from US website.

It is a T connector with reducer 16mm size and the reducer can fit in an airline tube size.

Anybody want to buy it...

Hon, the adaptor you are looking for should be available at DIY shops.The adaptor Joe needs is a connector that connects smaller diameter hose to bigger ones.

[ckpeh]

There is a shop at Jln Besar selling such a connector at around $5.
