co2 tubing


chimera

Recommended Posts

whats the preferred type of tubing to use for this? the korralin calcium reactor instruction sheet said not to use the green opaque tubing that comes with the reactor from the co2 regulator to the reactor. i bought some hagen elite (silicon) airline tubing from jansens - the guy there thought that should be ok. what does everyone else use? pies - what do you use on your korralin?

Just a word of Warning!!! Pies, we got it around the wrong way (and I cant read!!!) According to Korallin instruction sheet:

NEVER USE THE SILICON TUBES FOR CO2!!!

and here's confirmation on that:

All tubing for hooking up the effluent, feed line and CO2 supply lines is regular airline tubing, and it works well! In fact, it is recommended that silicone tubing not be used. KORALLIN say's that it has been proven there is a certain chemical reaction between carbon dioxide and silicone tubing that makes the reactor less efficient.
