sknoch78 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You will need a Co2 tank and a regulator with a solenoid. Her is a link to what I have. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=CO3111 Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think he has all the stuff, he needs help in hooking it up. I don't have one, probe but will, so I wil follow, using the same gage Milw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknoch78 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sorry did not see he had a gauge set. In that case, does it have an elctric solenoid? If not, you can buy one. THe PH controller has an outlet on it to plug it into, it will turn off and on depending on your set points. In effect, allowing Co2 in the reactor or stopping it.

impur Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You just need to buy a pH controller. The solenoid from the regulator plugs into that. You set a range on the controller to turn the co2 solenoid on and off. I have mine set to come on at 6.7 and off at 6.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Some reactors have a probe "plug" but MOST the time the effuent drips into a probe holder container, you stick the probe in there, and walla, your good to go. Set the controller to shut off the reg at a given ph level and your good. Just make sure the effluent is released to a high flow area just as before.
