Korallin C3002 Calcium Reactor

Recommended Posts

Korallin C3002 calcium reactor, carbon doser electronic regulator that doesn't work and a small cylinder for CO2,  Asking $200.

Korallin C3002—Reactor height: approx. 28"; Diameter: 4.50"; Ground: 6.30"; Filling amount: 6 kgs (13.2lbs); Eheim 1048 Pump.

The internal re-circulation flow rate of the C-1502 is around 80 g/h. Since that this is a pressurized Kalkreactor, the dissolution of the media by the carbonized water is enhanced. The effluent rate is only about 0.25 g/h at 40 drops/min. Thus explaining the efficient CO2 & media use. CO2 is being introduced into the Eheim powerhead direct—this is the most efficient Aspirating-Venturi method.

Features:

Top-loading & access w/ enhanced O-ring seal
`Auto-fill` Integrated Bubble Counter on one water circuit (ie: water never evaporates)
Detachable Tru-Union couplings w/ O-rings for easy handling, safe shipping, upgrading and leak proof
Integrated `industrial-grade` Brass Check Valve from German Air Pressure Systems to prevent back flow of pressurized saltwater
Improved engineering for stronger water circulation and suction
Secure German airline tubing connectors
Medical-use Miniature Quick Disconnect Couplings w/ shut-off 3 Inlet & outlet facing same direction
Special elbow for flexible airline tubing mounting
Heavy-duty Excelon construction w/ no unsightly and fragile hangover tubing
Top pump-mounting design
Self-suction water intake by the silent Eheim pump eliminates the use of a dedicated powerhead, gravity-fed or tee-off methods. It also serves for water recirculation.
Water circuit interruption in case of CO2 overdose—our exclusive CO2 Safety Feature
Visual excessive CO2 check w/ ventilation valve for quick release
Dual effluent outlets to suit different systems
Aspirating-Venturi technology utilizes only 10 CO2 bubbles/min. and up—most efficient use of both CO2 gas and CaCO3 media
The most compact and versatile positioning Kalkreactor in its class—6.25" small foot print + 15.75" total height—external or in-sump
Micro-adjustable miniature ball valve to maintain a consistent effluent drip rate
Slightly larger (German size) airline tubing for more consistent water flow
Strainer to protect Eheim pump from loose media particles

Bummer about the regulator - that would make a nice setup.  Have any idea what's wrong with it?

no clue, it's missing the power supply and i got it in the condition it's currently in.  i didn't contact the manufacturer and they said i could send it in for repair but i'm just going with new.  I have another calcium reactor with 2 chambers that i'm going to use instead of this one.

Thanks for the info!  I am running that same reactor currently and like the design.  Yours appears to have the pH probe holder which is nice as they don't all have one.  I wouldn't mind trying to resurrect the regulator if you end up parting it out.  What dual chamber did you get?  I've seen a few nice large units on here the last few months so hopefully you scored one of those.

Interested in the bottle if you separate. 

I'd be willing to part it out.  just looking to get rid of it.  I don't know what a cylinder goes for, i'm guessing it's a 5 lbs cylinder.  It also has a regulator on the cylinder that will come with it.  I found 5 lbs cylinders online for $60 to $70.  how about $25 for it?

Yes, it has the PH probe holder.  Your welcome to have the regulator to see if you can fix it.  If you feel like giving me anything for it i'm starting to add corals and would be happy for any frag you might have. 

I got a MRC dual chamber reactor from Ron down in Albany a while back.

That would be great!  Sadly, my tank is still trying to recover from last year's crash so not sure there is anything worth fragging but would be happy to toss you some cash if I can't find something you need.  BTW - do you still have those MH reflectors?  I got busy and never followed through on those.

Nice score with the MRC.  I had eyed one of their units previously but didn't know Ron had one available.

That sounds good. I'll PM you.

I was able get rid of those MH reflectors but I have another pair of reflectors with brand new radium bulbs that I was possibly going to use but I doubt I will. Also have Galaxy ballasts. You can check everything out if you are interested in them when you come get the regulator. You can have the regulator for free.

Sounds great Calvin - should I PM you to work out the timing?

thanks to albertareef i found out i actually have a C3002 not a C1502 reactor.  Only difference between the two reactors is height of reactor and how much media it hold.  

Well that and the original price 😄  This reactor would be great for someone looking to keep an SPS dominant tank... unfortunately won't fit inside my stand 😔  GLSW!

I actually have the non-ph probe holder lid, let me know if you would be willing to sell me your lid and I'll give you mine + cash.  GLWS

Odd how many of these we apparently sold w/o the probe holder - I was in the same situation and ultimately bought a replacement rather than trying to tap the lid given it's thickness.
