You basicly put crushed coral in it then add in co2... the co2 lowere the ph in the reactor and makes the crushed coral desolve..... That adds in all the trace elemenets you need.... have the out put go into and area with alot of air bubles and that helps release the extra co2 so you dont lower the ph in the tank

tank and regulator is about $100-$150...cost of reactor depends on size...the one Dave made i think cost less than $30...plus u still need to buy the agent to go inside it....i think about $20 or so
