GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor 5L – High-Efficiency CO2 Dissolution for Planted Aquariums
The GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor 5L is designed for high-efficiency CO2 dissolution in demanding planted aquarium systems. Built for high-tech aquascapes and larger planted aquariums, this reactor helps deliver stable, consistent CO2 saturation with minimal gas waste.
Key Features:
- 5L High-Capacity Reactor Chamber: Designed for high-flow filtration systems while maintaining stable CO2 saturation throughout the aquarium.
- Professional Acrylic Construction: Crystal-clear acrylic body designed for durability and long-term performance (19" tall × 6" diameter).
- Whirlpool Diffusion System: Internal vortex chamber promotes efficient CO2 mixing and dissolution before water returns to the aquarium.
- Universal Tubing Compatibility: Supports 12/16mm, 16/22mm, and 20/25mm tubing for compatibility with most canister filters and external pumps.
- Quiet, Bubble-Free Operation: Reduces visible microbubbles and CO2 noise commonly associated with traditional diffusers.
- Efficient CO2 Utilization: Helps reduce CO2 loss while improving overall system stability.
- Maintenance-Friendly Design: Wide body and removable top allow easier cleaning and access to internal components.
Installation & Functionality:
- Install the reactor inline with your canister filter return/output line.
- Connect CO2 tubing using the integrated Speedfit connection with built-in on/off valve.
- The internal vortex chamber creates a high-flow mixing environment that improves CO2 dissolution efficiency.
- Adjust CO2 injection according to the needs of your planted aquarium.
Why Choose a CO2 Reactor?
- Improved CO2 Dissolution: Efficient CO2 absorption with reduced gas waste.
- Ideal for Larger Aquariums: Well-suited for medium to large planted aquariums where higher CO2 demand exists.
- Cleaner Display Appearance: Inline reactor design minimizes visible equipment and microbubbles inside the aquarium.
- No Additional Power Required: Operates using existing filtration flow.
The GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor 5L is designed for aquascapers seeking stable, efficient CO2 delivery in larger planted aquarium systems.

Superb design co2 reactor.
High quality reactor, BIG:). Very good performance and minimal loss of flow from my pressure pump on ADA Superjet filter. GLA quality is present in this reactor and much improved from the previous acrylic design. Which, in fairness was a good design but was smaller and diminished flow and pressure. From a technical standpoint these two points are critical for a good working reactor. Very pleased thus far and only been in service for one day, but I see it’s working quite well. Impressive reactor by GLA.

Huge improvement with the new reactor.
Hooked it up this morning after removing my older GLA acrylic reactor and what an upgrade! First, the .45* elbow is a game changer compared to the old 90* elbow. My flow going into the reactor is stronger and I have more pressure building up within the reactor. It’s been about 6hrs now and it’s been awesome. With the old acrylic reactor by now I’d have a gigantic gas pocket. Right now I have a negligible gas pocket which I totally expect. But I’m guessing the larger volume and increased flow and pressure are helping a ton here. We will see how the next few days fair, but for now it’s absolutely awesome.
