MO has a used Lifereef Ca reactor for sale.
It's the right price

Build one, I have had ideas from Kent E's design and with A LOT of help from Kent and Scott (bosborn1) I have been running one for 6-7 months on my 120 and the most expensive part was 70.00 for a regulator. Not including the tank, I probably have less then 120 into it and I am running it on the very low end.

I'd thought about it, but in all honesty I'd need to see one in action before I could even comprehend it's workings! I'm pretty handy as far as DIY goes but with CA I really need to know it's 100% I'll be leaving for a week in Dec. and have to trust a friend with NO experience to take care of my "babies" I just don't want any surprises when I get home!

It took me < one with no idea how to use this device, about 3 weeks to get it dialed in. I have not touched it since and I have very stable #'s. Mine is very basic and it works great. Honestly Scott, Joe, and Kent should open a shop and build skimmers, CA's, and tanks.

Thanks Nathan. I had already Pm'ed him last night. I haven't built anything in awhile and was kinda getting bored.

I guess this means I am going to have to meet up with you to grab my stuff. I also need to talk to you about those taps.

Thanks
Scott
