About this manual

The AquaC RX-1 is an advanced calcium reactor designed to maintain proper calcium and alkalinity levels in reef tanks by dissolving calcium carbonate media. It features a powerful Eheim 1250 pump, a reverse-flow design to keep media in suspension, and a screw-on lid for easy media addition. The unit does not require a separate feed pump, making it a hassle-free solution for reef keepers.
