Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing an Pacific Sun IBR Calcium Reactor. With the purchase of this unit you have selected a top quality product. It has been specifically designed for aquaristic purposes and has been tested by experts. With this unit you are able to adjust the calcium level as well as the carbonate hardness in your seawater tank efficiently and to keep it on an optimum level.

Placement of the Reactor Place the re actor as close to your sump and CO2 tank as possible. The longer the tube length the longer it will take for ad- justments to take effect. This makes adjusting a calcium reactor more difficult. Technical data: IBR-150 - fi150mm, total height 56cm.

How Calcium Reactors Work It is very important to maintain the proper amounts of calcium and alkalinity in a reef tank. Both can be quickly depleted by growing organisms, and need to be supplemented in order to maintain levels equivalent to natural sea water.

Step 5: Start Up Reactor - without pH probe(for advanced users) 1. Ensure effluent valve is open (vertical position). 2. Plug in the Aquabee pump. Adjust effluent valve to achieve a broken stream. 3. The CO2 can now be switched on. Refer to the manufacturers operating instructions supplied with the CO2 and regulator.

SAFETY INFORMATION • The reactor unit should not be run 24-7 on small tanks (due to the pH lowering effects of a calcium reactor). To obtain the best results run the unit for 8 -10 hours per day. The reactor should start to run 4 hours after the lights have come on.
