The Hydrocarbonatreactor is filled with 1,000 ml of Hydrocarbonate, a pure calciumcarbonate
that is dissolved by the sulphuric acid of the sulphur filter. The result is Calciumsulphate (gypsum).
In the sulphur reactor, special bacteria reduce nitrate by oxidizing sulphur in an oxygen-free
environment. The residue is nitrogen gas that escapes into the environment. A by-product of this
reaction is sulphuric acid. This has to be neutralized before the water is pumped back into the
aquarium.
Installation
The enclosed holder makes a simple installation of the filter in or at the aquarium possible. The
upper holder plate and all screws have to be removed. Then, the holder can be shoved on a
horizontal brace in the aquarium or on an aquarium glass. It is fixed with two screws.
The Hydrocarbonatreactor can be connected directly in line to the sulphur nitratereactor with a
4/6 mm tube. The flow rate should not exceed 1 – 3 l/h.
Before taking the unit into first operation, the filter should be rinsed with water to avoid cloudings
through possible residual particles of the filter material.
The granules included in the Hydrocarbonatreactor are suitable for fresh and salt water. If a part
of the Hydrocarbonate has been dissolved by the sulphuric acid, it has to be replaced – or better,
the whole content should be renewed. For replacing the granules, unscrew one of the two
connecting pieces and shake the used granules out. Residual particles are removed by rinsing with
water. Then, the filter can be filled with new material. Refill only with original Aqua Medic
Hydrocarbonate middle size. The thread has to be cleaned from remaining Hydrocarbonate with
water so that the unit shuts tightly. Do not forget the sealing ring when screwing in the connecting
piece!
