![]() The valve is a union that accepts restriction discs with different port sizes to create the desired back pressure to send water to a calcium reactor. 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 user preset valve. The assembly and can be installed or removed at any time by the aquarist. This plumbing kit threads directly into the water inlet on the base of the N24 and placed inline with the supply tubing on the N18. Have a calcium reactor? Both the N18 and N24 can accept the same optional calcium injection assembly. To contain the blinding light emanating from within the reactor included is a magnetically fastened removable light blocking chamber cover. The N18 ships with starter solutions, 125ml of a 5% w/v solution of Nitrate+Molybdenum and 30ml of Iron+Manganese. Optional in-line quick-disconnects are available for the N18 separately. The central inlet port on the bottom is ½” barb, as is the outlet on the lid. bracket is integral to the chamber flange and is adjustable for tank rims with bracing. This model stands 16- 3/8” tall, and has a footprint of 6- ½” in diameter the chamber and lid are produced entirely out of cast acrylic. The profile of the N24 mirrors that of the C-series while the N18 striving for the smallest envelope forgoes the recognizable ARID gear shaped profile for a more simple and compact form.įor the aquarist with a system from 40-120 US gallons (150-450 liters) the N18 is the smallest practical use of the ARID reactor embodied in a H.O.T. The N24 has additional chamfered edges on the lid, flange, and base. Highly polished acrylic edges are found throughout the N-series. The aquarist can easily remove the light cover to reveal the inner workings of the opaque acrylic chamber and inspect the growth of the macro-algae inside. Small but mighty… The N-series (aka Nano series), N18 and N24 with its acrylic construction, are marketed for the aquarist that collects and displays their kit just as passionately as they collect and display the organisms residing within the main display. Functions such as, increasing and stabilizing Ph from day to night, lowering dissolved CO2 concentrations, keeping dissolved oxygen even from day to night, and increasing dissolved oxygen to levels higher than can be attained with skimmers alone, all standard benefits of running the ARID system. The ARID can perform functions the previously mentioned equipment can`t. Designed to replace GFO (granulated ferric oxide), nitrate reactors, bio-pellet reactors, carbon dosing and even protein “skimmers” (foam fractionators). Maximum nutrient uptake is ensured by pushing system water evenly through the macroalgae mass.Įliminate the clutter around your aquarium the ARID can function as a stand-alone filtration system. The LEDs were selected to supply intense PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) for rapid macroalgae growth. Vapor heat pipe technology keeps the LEDs running cool for maximum light emission and lifespan while keeping the heat out of your aquarium. The unique design of the ARID incorporates a coaxial LED light array housed in a tube to maximize light penetration and efficiency. This ingenious device utilizes macroalgae (specifically Chaetomorpha) to function as a nutrient export mechanism.
