ARID 24 Model Review

[pecan2phat]

Which model you think for 300g?

Steve,
You need the C30 model, E24 is rated only up to about 220g I believe.

Thx Warren! I need to look into this coz am tired doing WC going through 5-6 200g box each year.

I want to know how much is the C30? These things get pretty pricey

 

[pecan2phat]

I paid $795 (show price), not sure what the regular non-show price is. Comes with 3/4" quick disconnects, only add on option is a $59 calcium reactor feed assembly if needed.
Add 35lb shipping & insurance rate unless you go pick it up.
In my case, I had to pay state sales tax as well

It's a big boy though, probably will not fit under most stands.

What I prefer and like on the C30 over the smaller models is the white PVC body. I know some folks like to see the algae growing through the clear acrylic body but in an open room, the light bleed is substantial.

whats the dimension and what flow rate?

 

[pecan2phat]

Reactor is 32.75", with heat sink pipe probably total overall is 37" tall. Lid is 12" diameter but part of the bottom is extended 2" for the input fitting so I would say 14" diameter for the base.
Flow rate recommendation was min 400 gph, max 600 gph. I'm using a 475 gph pump on the unit.

I don't want to detract from xclusive's thread, just was trying to answer some questions. I'll start a thread on this sub forum later today to answer whatever I can.

Feel free to post here don't worry I'm truly impressed by this reactor and I will not use gfo anymore
