Calcium Injection Assembly - N-series

Have a calcium reactor? Both the N18 and N24 can accept the same optional calcium injection assembly. This plumbing kit threads directly into the water inlet on the base of the N24 or placed in line with the supply tubing on the N18 using the included barb fittings. The assembly can be installed or removed at any time by the aquarist. This add-on kit functions by creating a high pressure ¼” push-fitting port and low pressure ¼” push-fitting port by separating the two ports by a preset throttling valve. The valve is comprised of a union that accepts restriction discs with holes of varying diameters to create the required pressure to send water to a calcium reactor. The effluent coming from the calcium reactor passes through the included drip counter, and then enters the ¼” push fitting port on the low pressure side of the calcium injection assembly. This is the 1/4" port closest to the ARID reactor. The calcium reactor effluent mixes with the bulk of the water entering the ARID, and makes contact with the macro-algae where it is stripped of excess CO2 and phosphate before entering the reef system. This optional kit can increase the growth rate of your macro-algae and with it the nutrient uptake rate and dissolved oxygen production. Includes; manifold , drip counter, n18 adapter (1/2” hose barb x 1/2” hose barb), and 4 restriction discs.

Note; omit disc when using with a peristaltic pump.

* Quick disconnect fitting not included
