Quality, modern design, and DC controllability define the VarioS series, making it a premier choice for demanding reef systems. Unlike traditional AC-powered reactors, the CR200 uses the variable-speed VarioS-4 pump, allowing users to fine-tune the recirculation rate for optimal media dissolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reactor employs a sophisticated reverse-flow design, forcing water upward through the media to maximize contact time and prevent \"channeling\" or dead spots. This ensures that every ounce of aragonite media is utilized effectively. With its built-in CO2 recirculating feature, the CR200 recovers unused gas to increase efficiency and lower the overall pH within the chamber more effectively. The unit is thoughtfully designed with a precision effluent control valve and quick-connect fittings, simplifying the setup and tuning process for consistent daily mineral delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eControllable VarioS DC Pump:\u003c\/b\u003e Offers variable speed settings, a feed mode, and high-efficiency performance with a 5-year warranty. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eReverse Flow Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Maximizes water-to-media contact while ensuring even dissolution of the aragonite. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eComprehensive CO2 Tools:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a built-in bubble counter and a dedicated pH probe holder (probe sold separately) for total chamber monitoring. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuto Fill Feature:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated bubble counter and gas recovery system reduce CO2 waste. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Built with solid cast acrylic and 1\/4\" quick-connect fittings for a leak-proof experience. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eEasy Access Lid:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for simple media refills and routine chamber maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cb\u003eHigh-Demand SPS Tanks:\u003c\/b\u003e Perfect for systems requiring high amounts of calcium and carbonate. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eMedium to Large Reefs:\u003c\/b\u003e Rated for systems between 300 and 500 gallons, depending on bioload. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eTech-Forward Hobbyists:\u003c\/b\u003e Those who prefer the quiet operation and micro-adjustability of DC-powered equipment. \u003cbr\u003e• \u003cb\u003eMinimalist Sump Spaces:\u003c\/b\u003e Compact footprint considering its high media capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CoralVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47322757955753,"sku":"OCT-CALR200","price":866.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/4958\/0912\/files\/43a59e04c4fc012668f75d16151cccda.jpg?v=1786228123","url":"https:\/\/worldwidecorals.com\/products\/oct-calr200","provider":"World Wide Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
