I was sitting around looking at all my Aquarium equipment and was wondering if this was possible. I have a Fluidized bed made by Rainbow Lifguard and was wondering if it was possible to make that into a Calcium Reactor? :confused: I dont know if this is possible or not but it was just a thought.. Could fill it with ARM Media and inject CO2 into the water pumping into the unit.. ??

Can this be done??

Thanks,
Henry

Henry,

Yes that will work you would be creating a single pass CA reactor which is not the most effecian design. What would be better would be to hook a pump up to as a recuirculating pump and then run it as a normal ca reactor with a water input and co/2 input right in front of the pump and a water output just after the pump, with the pump just moving the water around in the filter.
