About to order GEO reactor, Am I missing anything?

SunnyX · 03-15-2004, 09:52 PM

I am ordering this stuff-

Premium Aquatics GEO Calcium Reactor

M3 CO2 Tank - 5 lb - empty

AquaMedic CO2 Regulator - NO Solenoid

C-ARM Carib Sea Calcium Reactor Media - 8 pounds

M3-AQUALIFTERPUMP AQUA LIFTER VACUUM PUMP AW-20

Do I need anything else?

the selenoid valve? lol

Sunny, the CO2 tank you can probably get it locally and is going to be cheaper, GEO makes really good products you will be really happy!

Oh I see, doesnt come with the selenoid... you might wanna check if you get that as well, just as a precaution, you never know... better spend a little extra and stay on the safe side.

just my 2 cents

whats so special about the selenoid?

SunnyX · 03-15-2004, 10:21 PM

what type of store would sell Co2 tanks?

VINA DEL MAR · 03-15-2004, 10:24 PM

Solenoid valve is a device that opens and closes the CO2 in the event of power failure.Or if you like to control you PH using a PH controller in you tank this valve will turn on and off acording to the tank demand!

I will not be running a controller. Still good Idea to get one?

Usually welding supplier stores or beverages distribution center carriers CO2.

Im getting a Selenoid. If you say its needed robz,then I need it.

Thanks.

It depends what kind of reactor your are buying!Some of them are made with a Bleeder valve that is attached to a hose that releases the co2 to the outside of the tank not in your tank!Sunnyx get the valve I had problems once before!

PS.Cost me 18 bucks to get my 10 lbs refilled.
