DJ88 is on a distinguished road
Default Seattle Aquarium society meeting.

Titus,

The mods are just running a closed loop recirc of water n CO2 from the top of the reactor back into the CO2 feed line. If you take a peek at my pics in the DIY forum of my new reactor you can see the fittings and the T used. It isn't a new idea but I have been in contact with one reefer in the states who is running 100 ml/min effluent and a bubble rate of 30/min. His CO2 consumption is in 1/2 with this idea. All on a 120 I beleive. (memory is shot since I retired) [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I showed it to the guys at the PSAS meeting and the more knowledgeable ones [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] who knew a bit about Ca reactors(couple sure didn't) [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] were really into trying it. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I guess your bleed valve at the top of your reactor is perfect for this. Scott can explain it more with your reactor design. We talked about it a fair bit.

Paul,

Let us know. You are welcome anytime. I am sure Troy Scott and I can show you n your wife around. Lots to do n see here.

I see that Kevin has registered here too.

If you read this Kevin say hi. I am sure others here would love to see your system. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Mike,

Depending on how busy things are I may try making a few. There was more than a few there who seemed to want one. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Once this semester is finished I am off all summer so.... I'll keep you and the rest of the PSAS posted.
