pm if you would like to get one. I don't stock them since there has been little demand for them

I gave Anton the specs for making automatic ones (an external and internal)... I know there has been some interest in an automatic one.

So is an automatic reactor in the works?

i think i am getting the small zeo reactor.
looks like a single tube design so the sump water level will need to be higher than the zeolites in the reactor, because when the pump shuts off the water will empty out of the pump correct?

GSMguy it is a single tube

no problem i am making my water level in the sump constant at 9 inches that is plenty for the small amount of rocks i will use.

ATB is making a prototype model of a automatic zeo reactor. we will still have to test it. No estimated release date yet
Thanks

A 'sneak preview'... using the cone's advantages for other equipment...

I Just found out that Anton is building this reactor that you designed as we speak and I will be testing it when it gets here:D :D WOOOT
I can not wait.:D :D :D

Cool man, I take it that you run Zeo right now?
The reactor uses dual pumps... one for constant feed, and the other for 'surge'. I dont know what the plan is for the test models... if all the pumps and stuff included or what. The intermatic DT 17 timer is also needed (or other digital timer that can turn on the surge pump for a minute once a day).

yep i run zeo now, i will take some baseline PO4 and nitrate readings in the few weeks leading up to me getting it and log them. I will try not to change my dosing or feeding schedule or anything else else while i test it as well.
If you have any other suggestions on how to do an accurate test let me know.
i assume victor will send it with the pumps and i will program it into my aquacontroller to run for 1 minute 2x daily.

Well, as long as everything stays the same or better, and the 'surge system' means you dont have to pump a reactor once a day... I would say that is the major test.
I wonder what size the cone you are getting will be...

Good Lord, I would pay real money for an automatic reactor!!
I travel 4 days a week and my wife has to do the reactor dance as well as dose Zeo for me. Yep, shes a keeper.
I look forward to your results.

you can get a dosing pump for zeofood and AAHC and zeostart and the automatic reactor and you could have a fully automated zeovit system.

SHe cleans the Deltec now, I am hoping that the ATB is so nasty that I get the 'Hell No' response from her on that one!!!

That is one reason I have not went to Zeo because I travel a lot and there is NO WAY I could get my girlfriend to do anything with the tank.
I'm interested in the auto Zeo reactor as well.
If you guys wanna see some nog from my ATB I've got a thread on this forum "Small ATB skimmer pics"
Thanks for the help Victor! You da man.

you will need a dosing pump for Zeostart2 if you want to go automatic zeovit.

If a decent automatic Zeo Reactor comes out from Anton's workshop--I am SOOO on board...!

Zeo user here, very interested in whatever Victor/Anton come up with. If an interesting design (which seems to be the case), I'd be interesting in buying and testing an early model.

Looking forward to info, photos, and pricing on a small auto reactor.
