Find me a Ca Reactor

sevise · #1 08/08/2007, 02:52 AM

I'm going through a bottle of Ca and Alk in about a week. I desperately need to find a CA reactor. There are a plethora of them out there can anyone recommend me a good model or brand.

I have a 120 display with 6 clams and some SPS (want capacity to add more).

Can a good CA reactor take the place of kalk and CA supplements?

Yes, thats exactly what a calcium reactor will do if used properly.

You will be well served with a GEO 612. I have one and love it. Pretty easy to set up and stays rock solid.

Most of us still dose kalk when using a ca Reactor. It will also help keep your PH steady.

on a system with a modest demand long term a Ca reactor is cheaper then a 2 part. he didn't say what kind the 6 clams were but just one big T squamosa puts a heck of a demand from even a large reactor, with a 2 part you'd be dosing a gallon of each every other day and that gets even more costly then a reactor, even if you're buying CaCl in bulk and A&H at the grocery store.
