Super Silent Extreme CR818 SSE - 8" Calcium Reactor RED - Geo's Reef

*******THESE REACTORS ARE IN STOCK AND WILL SHIP SAME DAY NEXT DAY - NO NEED TO WAIT FOR THEM TO BE BUILT*******

The Super Silent Extreme CR818 SSE will hold 24 pounds of large grain media and is suitable for reef aquariums up to 300-600 gallons.

These SSE reactors are very efficient only using 3 watts of power and EXTREMELY quiet.  They are designed to run similar to a traditional Classic GEO reactor but main difference is that there is no external bubble counter and the Co2 saturation into water is completed inside the Co2 chamber and not throughout the reactor and pump.  There is no chopping up of Co2 bubbles which causes loud noise. There will be no major accumulation of gasses  inside the main chamber or under the lid.  As water passes through the saturation chamber Co2 is immediately disolved into the water and VERY little gas is wasted ( 95% saturation compared to 55% of the Classic models).

About the Recirculating Pump
Do not underestimate this extremely energy efficient smart pump based on its size and low replacement cost. During operation it is slightly warm to the touch, super silent and has over a 3.5 year continuous run rating. Some of its smart features include “Debris Jam Protection” stoping the impeller from being damaged and “Dry Run Protection” to keep the pump from over heating if there is no water in its housing. The materials in constructing this pump are designed for alkaline environments and are resistant to salt corrosion making this pump well suited for the extreme water conditions of a calcium reactor. The low gallons per hour on this smart pump is intentionally programed for two reasons: 1. so not pull gaseous Co2 down through the saturation chamber into the main reactor chamber giving time for super saturation and 2. to actually allow sediment to accumulate on the bottom of the main chamber so not to be pulled back through the closed loop of the reactor damaging the pump impeller and possibly clogging the effluent tube line. Thousands of hours of real world experience led to choosing this smart and efficient pump.
