AquaMaxx CR-1 Calcium Reactor
Overview
AquaMaxx Calcium Reactors use an upflow design to mix saltwater, calcium carbonate and CO2 inside a reaction chamber to eliminate the need for daily two-part dosing. Not only will the AquaMaxx Calcium Reactor keep your levels balanced, you will no longer have to calculate daily dosages for your tank.
AquaMaxx Calcium Reactors are computer-precision engineered and utilize the latest aquarium technology to deliver unparalleled performance and value. The CR-1 is rated for aquariums up to 350 gallons yet is thin enough to be concealed underneath your aquarium or inside the sump.
Ease of Use
AquaMaxx Calcium Reactors were designed from the ground up with the aquarium hobbyist in mind.
The computer precision-cut enclosure makes the reactor look and feel seamless. There is only one cord on the reactor: the power cord. With the fittings and pump on the same side, everything stays neatly organized.
Cleaning and maintenance is simple. For quick access to the included Sicce pump, simply unscrew the union. You do not need to replace media too often with a reaction chamber this size but, when you do, it could not be easier. Just turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise, remove and replace the sponges and replenish the reactor with quality calcium carbonate media.
Advanced Features and Performance
Monitor your AquaMaxx Calcium Reactor’s pH by placing a probe into the built-in probe port. A bubble counter is also included so you can monitor the amount of CO2 gas inside the reactor.
The workhorse powering the AquaMaxx Calcium Reactor is the pump. Each reactor is equipped with an Italian-imported Sicce Syncra CR-1 Silent 1.5 pump. These pumps were specially chosen for their small footprint, energy-efficient design (a mere 23 watts) and whisper-quiet operation.
AquaMaxx Calcium Reactors are shipped with detailed instructions and diagrams to help you get up and running quickly. All AquaMaxx products are backed by a 90-day manufacturer warranty.
