No comments on my 54 inch tall calcium reactor. Biggest I have personally seen to date!

Looks good Ben. The old fella looks pretty happy in there. No problem with the clams?

Thanks Doug. Clams are downstairs. He went for them after about 4 seconds.

Hey B,

Looks really good.

Can you explain to me your heater setup quickly again. After seeing your setup we moved everything downstairs but with the long run of flex hose I need 4 heaters (2 in main tank) to keep the water temp at 80.

No heaters, my pumps keep my tank at 77 to 80 and I choose not to heat anymore.

If your tank remains at anything over 75 I wouldn't bother heating it.

You could always just get more CL pumps to keep your temp higher, why waste money on running heaters when you can heat the water with circulation pumps?

>> why waste money on running heaters when you can heat the water with circulation pumps?

The million dollar question. Very good point.

Beautiful setup... I just found your thread tonight; I guess I'm in for a long read.

I hope to get back into it this winter.

Too busy tuning my car lately.
