I'm in the process of setting up and installing pressurized Co2 into a 55 gal planted aquarium. After the frustration of searching for quality commercial Co2 reactors, I followed up on the suggestion from my LFS to use the Two Little Fishies Phosban 150 Reactor. It will be inline from an Eheim 2217 canister filter and a DIY inline PVC venturi for the Co2 inlet.
My question is this: The Phosban Reactor has two barbed inlets/outputs on the top. One goes into an acrylic tube that runs to the bottom then out through a plate. The other just come in at the top. Which should be the input? My guy at the LFS thought it should go in at the top and out from the bottom though the tube.Your thoughts? Anybody have any insight or opinion on which is better? I attached a pic of the reactor. (I'm taking out the sponge pads on the top and bottom, don't think they're necessary). Thanks!
