The best co2 reactor.
I love this reactor thus far. I only use a UV stick inside because I dont need heat. Although I feel UV also heats the water I could be wrong. Its a very beautiful piece. I had it installed in minutes and no more co2 bubbles inside my tank.:)
-
Very high quality product.
This is a very high quality product, However I had trouble using it because my filter pump just cant provide enough power for its volume. I had issues because the reactor is very large and my filter was almost the same size. It caused heating issues because I was not using it correctly. I asked GLA for help and they advised I increase pressure in the reactor with a more powerful pump. I had an extra pump I plumbed inline after my filter and before my reactor. The next day with the new pump when co2 had been on all day had fixed the issue 100%. I now know what makes a good co2 reactor work(pressure). If you have some tiny low flow pump do not use this, its to large. When dealing with added volume you have to understand what you are dealing with. GLA was very supportive and the guidance proved perfect.

The aquarium co2 reactor.
I love this reactor, its everything and then some. I use my old titanium heater and I have DIY'd and inlet on the other cap to feed my fertilizer from my autodoser. My new GLA Infinite filter is performing wonders for my tank. This reactor is the best in the hobby, go figure its GLA!

GLA is the best in aquarium co2 delivery.
This is one spectacular piece of co2 equipment. I’ve been a fan of GLA since 2008 when I started. I’ve enjoyed watching them evolve and pioneer the best co2 equipment in the hobby. If you’re looking for the best in aquarium co2 equipment, GLA is it. This reactor does everything a reactor is supposed to do. It houses my glass heater and a cheap UV stick from my local lfs. My tank is now crystal clear and no more 7-Up fizz all over it’s so much cleaner and clearer. I do notice I use more co2, but I expect that with total saturation.

GLA has the best co2 reactor.
This thing is the best in all aspects. GLA has always impressed with new aquascaping designs.

Very high quality and superb design.
I wait now 6 months to make this review. This reactor system has been an incredible addition to my aquarium system. I suggest if you have never used a co2 reactor, or dont understand what makes a co2 reactor work, you contact GLA. They know how, and what makes co2 reactor work efficiently. All while housing your heater and UV stick. My advise, get a powerful pump that you can control so you can adjust flow to perfection, makes all the difference in the world. GLA may offer this in the future I hear. You want the big pump and ball valve to create lots of pressure inside, to put pressure on the co2 bubble and make the pocket inside small. It will quickly dissolve the co2 faster this way. Even so, it will work at a normal rate of flow just fine, I tried it all with my VRS pump. I also implemented a foam pad under mine for insulation and had my wife knit me a custom sock for winter . I wish you could see my Christmas sock lmao! I love this reactor from GLA!

Infinite reactor review
Well made product. Easy to set up. I like the fact that you can run a heater and uv sterilizer with the provided ports or you can leave them capped off. Plants in my tank are responding better with the co2 dissolved into the water Vs when I ran a inline diffuser. Also makes the inside of your cabinet or co2,filter set up look nice.

GLA co2 reactor is the best in co2.
Make no mistake as I state this fact to all today on this day. GLA co2 equipment is the very best. Super customer service with no bullshit taken from me. These guys are stand up crew bring us the best in co2 system in America. I purchased my Pro-1 DS system from GLA and can vouch for GLA 100% as top quality. Everything is beautiful, and functionality is at a premium. GLA is helping me achieve excellence in my aquascaping abilities. My tank is happy and Im super happy:)

Its bad ass!
This is without doubt the best co2 reactor. This is the smaller of the two and I could not imagine powering the bigger one. This dissolves all your co2 and houses your heater. I dont use a UV but I will be doing what others are doing and implementing an auto-dosing port. Im going to make a nice sock for it come winter and that will double the efficiency of the heater element.
-
Undoubtedly the best co2 reactor made.
Ive waited 6 months to write this review for this particular reactor. First things, construction, its immaculate, very well purpose built device. Co2 100% saturates nothing escapes. I have yet to use any of the heater options but I did test it for a few weeks and it was awesome. Your going to need a good amount of flow for these reactors. These are not small, so make sure your pump provides good pressure. If your using a canister filter with weak flow, install an inline pump between your filter and reactor. Thats what I did and I love and I think my filter loves it the same.

This is THE co2 reactor.
If your looking for a super co2 reactor this is it. Im blown away at this thing. I have 1 heater and a DIY auto-dosing port I made myself out of PVC. It was stupid easy! Now I have my DIY all in one fertilizer injected into the reactor. Its feeding my plants co2,providing heat for my tank and feeding my plants nutrients. All below my aquascape, I love this!
-
Bad ass!
GLA is killing it with the high tech gear these days. This reactor is bad ass as it gets. Its overbuilt all over and holds my heater and cheap UV without a peep. However I did remove my UV as I find it to keep my tank temps warmer than Id prefer on my smaller tank. Loving it GLA keep it the work!
-
This co2 reactor is bad ass!
I love it, Im using it on a 180g and have a big Eheim heater tapped into it. It works perfect. I would like to see GLA come out with some sort of pad for the bottom. Just an idea!

This is an aquascaping co2 reactor.
This stainless steel co2 reactor is of the best quality. Its heavy but worth its weight. I use only the heater option as I dont have a need for UV yet so I use one of the plugs. Although I did make my own plug out of black because the white I did not like. They are just basic PVC plugs so you can use whatever you want. I was also trying to think of a way to incorporate a fertilizer injection port on one side. GLA already has it in the making, already asked. I like GLA a lot. They are the original OG's in the game. Always bringing us fresh new concepts.

Totally awesome co2 reactor.
Wow! Thats the first thing i said when I laid my hands on it. It performs flawlessly and looks amazing!
-
We love this reactor for many reasons.
I could not beilive my eyes when I went to my local LFS and they had an entire GLA kit installed with this reactor. It had a heater and UV bulb all in one. Very large canister but not GLA's largest. It keeps our aquascape nice and warm,sterilized and co2 rich. Cant ask for more than that!

GLA Infinite Nature Reactor SS/4.5L
Along with my GLA filter the reactor makes for an awesome combo. CO2 dissolution is complete and fast and I can finally say goodbye to ceramic diffusers and worry if they're clean or not. This baby works like a charm. Solid build and performance. I did have a technical glitch but the customer service at GLA is outstanding. I received an immediate response from them on a Sunday! Big praise when big praise is due.
-
This is a miracle of co2 ingenuity.
GLA has been my goto for almost 20 years. I saw this reactor and almost shat myself. It arrived and I was blown away, super impressive. Works terrific and by gosh it looks damn fine under my tank. It houses my heater and I just ordered a UV sterilizer. I had no way of using one before but now I do.
-
My first reactor success!
Finally a worthy reactor. I’m old enough to know a good thing when I see it and this definitely qualifies. Super super nice stainless everything. We live in Montana so it’s cold all the time so this reactor houses my heater. Huge ❤️ for that GLA. My filter pumps big water through the reactor and it handles my bubble rate effortlessly. Super happy

The best co2 reactor.
Undoubtedly the best co2 reactor I’ve ever used or seen for that matter. I’m old, been in the aquarium hobby 42 years. I’ve only used reactors the last 22 years, I’ve used them all. This reactor rises and shines above all the rest in so many ways. Never in my life would I ever think to combine a heater and UV sterilizer in a huge reactor. Extremely well designed and made. Everything was super heavy duty and installation was as easy as any reactor typically is. I’m definitely buying the bigger one for my big tank next month. Kudos to whoever packaged this order. You can tell the folks at GLA actually care about their products.
