CarbonDoser EXT-1000 & EXT-5000 (External Reactor)(V3.0)

In extensive testing utilizing the super accurate CarbonDoser® Electronic CO2 Regulator, here are some results (base on maintaining 25 PPM CO2 Saturation):

• when using the CarbonDoser® EXT 5000 the average settings for a 90 gallon aquarium are:  (1+/-) seconds per bubble/portion @ 8 PSI.)
• when using the Tunze CO2 Reactor NANO the average setting for a 40 gallon aquarium are:   (2+/-) seconds per bubble/portion @ 6 PSI.)
• when using a ceramic “diffuser” on a 55 gallon aquarium are:  5 “bubbles per second (not seconds per bubble) @ 35+ PSI. !!!

Basically a ceramic diffuser uses (wastes) a tremendous amount of CO2 compared to a Reactor.

Checkout the videos on youtube… you’ll see 1000’s of CO2 bubbles flying around the aquarium like a blizzard… “Only sparged (completely dissolved) CO2 is usable to plants.

CarbonDoser® EXT5000 (External Reactor 5000)

For successful, efficient introduction of CO₂. into water up to 1000 gallons or more! No wasting of CO2. Works in line with any canister filter or pump. Hide under cabinet, eliminates unsightly items in aquarium.

 Even though this Reactor is adequate for aquariums up to 1000 gallons, we still highly recommend it for ALL aquarium (with an external filter or pump system) no matter what the size. We also have the smaller version EXT1000 for those with smaller aquariums and or short on space in cabinet or wherever you are hiding your plumbing.

All other “inline” reactors rely completely on the flow from the filter…if the flow is not the correct speed, the reactor will not be efficient. This does NOT rely on the filter pump volume, instead includes an internal pump which creates high turbulence of the water & CO₂ within the reactor, thereby creating 100% dissolution of the CO_2. The design ensures that CO₂ can NOT leave the reactor until 100% dissolved in the water

We invented and patented this reactor, you will not find a more efficient reactor anywhere

(Please indicate Inside Diameter of hose needed. 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, or 1 inch.)

Includes everything you need for installation with the exception of the mounting bracket with screws which is optional.

Watch closely at the video: This is a perfect example of how inefficient and wasteful both glass & ceramic diffusers are. (Remember, plants can NOT use CO₂ while it is still a bubble. For a plant to absorb CO₂, it MUST be totally dissolved (sparged) in the water) If you can see the CO₂ bubbles rise to the surface, they’re gone and totally wasted.
