Korallin Ca reactors C-1502 vs C-3002

Yes, it looks like it is a volume difference.  Same circulation pump, same everything other than height as you say.

 

It is a bit confusing, but here is a wild arse guess at it as I have wondered the same...

 

I honestly think how often you have to change the media is one big factor.

 

The second is, the larger volume of media and water at a given ph, richer effluent that can be produced.  Given all things equal such as feed rate, ph, and media type, it takes more CO2 to keep the larger amount of water and media at a given PH.  The extra media has more ability to raise the PH back up in the reactor.  More Co2 means more dissolved media, means more ability to produce KH.

 

At least at 2 am that is what I am thinking :)
