The Eheim 1260 pump seems to heat the water a lot in the reactor!? 1260 - 2400 l/h.

The reactor has been running for two years now, and I'm satisfied. The reactor turned out to be quite spacious, more filler fits in it. Calcium has never dropped below 400 in the aquarium, but I messed up with magnesium; I added filler from Fauna Marin, and for six months I haven't been able to lower the magnesium level. The filler is SUPER, it raises magnesium significantly. Recently, I changed the filler, added ARM and coral gravel. I can't say anything about heating the water; I haven't noticed any increase in temperature in the aquarium. I could turn off the pump for a couple of days and see how the temperature changes in the aquarium, but I don't really want to.

Dmitry, the colleague meant the heating in the KR flask itself, which certainly occurs, but since there is very little life in such an acidic environment, overheating is not so critical, and the crumb dissolves even better. In the case where the KR is installed in the SUMP, its heating is negligible, as the pump is cooled by water in the SUMP as well.

Is there a cooler installed in your system?

Andrea

Only fans. There is no refrigerator and none is planned. The temperature is between 27-29 degrees. In summer, when it's hot, it reaches about 32, as there is no air conditioning in the room. The inhabitants react normally, without any negative consequences. The aquarium is already in its third year. And the heating mainly comes from the light fixture, which is more than a kilowatt. 4MH at 250W each + 4T5 at 24W. That's quite a heater.

I wanted to ask if the 1260 on your reactor is operating at full capacity? Or have you reduced the power with the control valve?

I couldn't respond right away. I'm not covering it with a crane. And I haven't covered it.

Hello. Tell me. Here, the crumb is poured into the larger body. This is all clear. But why the second one? The one with a smaller diameter. What goes in there? What is its role? Thank you.

Holly

I don't quite understand it myself. But the bubbles of carbon dioxide swirl around nicely there.

Michael

I think this is a sedimentation suppressor - a wasp to settle at the bottom of this flask from the first circuit.

Ryan1989

I don't quite understand!? Or are we talking about the transparent tube that goes from the upper fence of the first contour!?

Patricia

Hello everyone. I was asking about the second transparent case that stands on the common base with the main one. The other cylinders are clear for what purpose they serve.

Brianna

, answer 11.

Thank you. I understand. It's just that my reactor doesn't have this casing. The outlet pipe goes to the return section. And there is no suspension there.

Cynthia6578

And you set up 2 circuits and see how much of it (the sediment) accumulates in a month!

Phillip9722

In a year and a half, I have accumulated 1/3 of a flask of suspension...

Melissa2062

I'll give it a try. Thank you.
