Ca. Reactor Recommendations??

[ghever]

What would you guys recommend for a total system of about 300 gallons?

What about this reactor? http://www.aquaticsystemsdesign.com/careactors_dual.php

What brands do you guys recommend?

thanks

I am ordering the single chamber soon from Scott. Awesome guy, and he makes really good stuff. You won't be upset with his dual chamber!

I am very happy with my reeftek.com reactor. I got the eheim pump, and the probe holder options. Good service via email, and a great reactor.

Do I need the dual chamber for 300gal system or single would be enough? I remember someone recommending the dual chamber but dont remember why.

thanks

You dont need a dual chamber, just a larger single chamber and a larger sized recirculating pump. Some people like to use a second chamber to degass the effluent. If you have room, go for it, but it is not needed.

hey guys/gals, (to be pc ) how difficult is it to set up a cal reactor? I'm considering getting one in the future but still have research to do.

What do you guys think of the Lifereef LCR1 reactor?

It says it is up to a 300gal system... or should I get something bigger? I have a pretty damn good deal on one available for $250 with solenoid... but not sure if it has a built in compartment for the controller or not.

I am assuming I need a separate pH controller than my aquacontroller...unless I get the III pro which I think has 2 pH ports?

ghever,

The ACIII (non-Pro) will do 2 pH ports as well. I have one and love it.

Reefsahoy, a Ca reactor can be very easy to dial in depending on the make. The one I have is a snap, the Geo reactor is almost the same design and is also easy to dial in. Premiumaquatics sells the Geo.

Scott's stuff is top-notch. He's also one of the nicest people I've ever dealt with. He takes quality and customer service very seriously. Don't hesitate to buy from him!!! JMO

I got the sinlge chamber unit for Aquatic Systems Design a couple of weeks ago. Very easy to set up. Excellent customer service. If I decide to do another tank, I will definitely be buying another reactor from Scott. This combination of quality and reasonable price is outstanding!

I have the LifeReef LRC2 and couldn't more happy with it. Great quality and works great.
