Ok I currently have a well planted 29gal. I currently use a pressurized CO2 system. "BUT" I am currently using a Penguin 350 Bio-filter. I am planning to switch over to an external Canister filter.
My question is: I am currently using the Reactor500 CO2 reactor ( came with the kit ). When I switch over to the canister filter, will it be a better idea to use the DIY style reactor? Or will it even make a difference switching to one or the other? Information on Both Reactors are below.
Reactor500 and info:
CO2 Reactor 500
* Carbon dioxide reaction chamber includes an adjustable 65 gph flow pump * Compact, submersible design includes necessary silicon tubing and check valve * Easily connects to any CO2 regulator and carbon dioxide source for plant health
Powerful carbon dioxide reaction chamber dissolves 99.5% of CO2 for strong, lush aquarium plants. Features a 65 gph adjustable flow pump that creates a vortex inside the reaction chamber for total dissolution at up to 180 bubbles per minute. Includes check valve and three feet of silicon CO2 tubing. Easily connects to any CO2 regulator and source*. For planted aquariums up to 125 gallons. Measures 1-5/8" wide x 3-3/4" long x 2-1/4" high.
