Yes I did recirc the CO2 from the top into the pump intake.

DJ88:

Quick question if you don't mind. What with, and how did you make the strainer at the bottom of the reactor. From the photo it looks like acrylic with some holes drilled through.

Bryan,

Ask away. I dont mind.

It is a piece of acrylic with holes drilled in it. Exactly what you thought. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Darren:

From the pic it looks like the c02 from the top is recirculated to the pump outlet. Would it not be better if it was reintrduced into the input of the pump where it coukd be chopped up again by the impeller.

bit of an update.

Working great. Had a few little mistakes of my own to fix but it is running well.

effluent is at 19dKh right now. keeping my tank at 12.5. [img]smile.gif[/img] effluent pH is actually at 7.0 and still getting the numbers I want.

I have the BPM at ~45. in a couple of hours I will drop it to 30 and see how it goes.

Bryan,

The CO2 recirc does go into the intake of the MAG. the left had PVC line runs directly into the impeller of the mag. The right hand PVC line is output to the reactor. THe pic isn't that great as I am only using tubing I had laying around. I won't put the good stuff on until the Rx is inside my stand and plumbed with opaque tubing.

whats the ratio of effluent to co2 darren? in bpm vs dpm/mlpm?

dj cold you show us a pic that we could see where
all tubing goes I see a lot of tubing conection
and T but dont know where they go?

Shane,

Right now it's running at 30BPM and I put it back up to about 100 ml/min. The pH is sitting at 7.05 for the effluent and is putting out a dKh of over 20 into the tank. Running very well IMO. glad I tried this little experiment.

Stephane,

I'll try to get some pics for you in a bit. [img]smile.gif[/img]
