Calcium Reactors with different efficiency have been present on the market for several years. Besides suppling invertebrates a constant level of calcium hydrogen carbonate plays an important role in the buffering capacity of seawater. If this capacity is kept high the tendency of declining pH value (by acidic influences are caused by metabolism of diverse microorganisms) is reduced considerably. The water inside the calcium reactor is circulated by the aid of a centrifugal pump. The water being saturated with carbon dioxide creates a acidic medium in which the coralsand or reactor media is dissolved as calciumhydrogenecarbonate. Apart of the calciumhydrogenecarbonate trace elements is set free which once had been accumulated during lifetime of the corals. These products are leaving the reactor via the outlet.
The Schuran Jetstream series - calcium reactors setting new standards!
The Jetstream calcium reactors are a totally new design and reach dimensions of efficiency second to none. Many users both professionals or hobbyists know that they can dissolve coralsand in much higher quantities than in any other reactors before if these have static or moved fillings. If necessary it is possible to dissolve one filling per month. Carbon dioxide is taken up by an injector system. Bubbles of carbon dioxide which have not been used are caught by a gas/water separator and are injected into the reaction chamber again. In this way not a single bubble can leave the reactor without having been used. Up to now, the rest gases, mostly nitrogen, has caused problems in every closed reactor, thus complicated and delicate degasing procedures have been necessary. The Jetstream reactors are the first which to make use of this gas in a profitable way: It has a beneficial effect on the water flowing through the coralsand thus hinder the system in accumulation of fine slick. The whole filling is evenly dissolved. As a result the speed of current in the system is enhanced remarkably without diminsihing the solubility for carbon dioxide. The outlet water is free of gas. Everyone can compare and test the capacities, the results are reproducable - Jetstream reactors are the first ones with performance diagrams!
The Jetstream series - unbeatable in efficiency !
