Calc. Reactor advice

[sohal1025]

Im looking to get into putting a calcium reactor on my 90gal. and was not sure what one to get. There are so many to choose from, I am kind of lost. I have some softies, acro, millipora, posiopora, hammer, torch, povona, things like that. Not a real heavy load but I did not want to get one and not be happy with it. ANY ADVICE?

I can only recommend one brand which is the only one i've used so far but I am very happy with it and that is the Reef Octopus CR140. Works Great and has the CO2 recirculation, quiet operation.

Hi,

I have Korallin 1501 which I think was upgraded to a Korallin 1502. I am pretty happy with mine. Seems to work great once you learn how to dial it in. Once dialed in mine does not change much as far as the bubble count.

How are you maintaining your Ca levels now?

 

[sohal1025]

I use a two part solution from B-IONIC

definately look into a ca reactor. I can tell you with all sps it has been the single best investment in terms of keeping the reef healthy. Even with bionic i was always deficient and my coral just survived. not they grow at a fast rate.

Any of the major brands are going to accomplish what you want. The key is getting it dialed in correctly which does take some finesse and time. But the great thing is you set it and almost forget it. It can run and maintain[\i] calcium levels in your tank with little to no interaction from you. What do you want to achieve with the reactor? That would help determine your overall happiness with this equipment. If you expect it to perform miracles you'll be disappointed.

GEO 618 Here on my 70G with a total system volume of 120. These are rock solid units and very easy to setup.
