Looks great ! What size tube and what size pump?

Look great Calciumbuf, you got a part list. can you post it?

The tube size is 6" diameter by 36" tall. A little over kill for most systems, by mine is very demanding. Circulation pump on side of chamber is a maxi jet 600 set to mix every 2 hours for 15 minutes. Chamber is supplied by a maxi jet 1200 in a fresh water holding tank. Base is 3/8 acrylic , top is 6" pvc clean out adaptor. tubing standard 1/4 ro line.

Yeah i thought i been hearing funny things in the last year.. Now i know what it is. I can tell my wife.. LOL

With the new calcuim reactor you built how bad is the calcium draw now?

It looks neat. How dose it work? It looks like it would use a drip kind of system.

Brandon come over some time and i run over it with you, it works pretty slick. Actually the new reactor is keeping up just fine I use kalk to keep the ph up and precipatate any phosphate.
