calcium reactor

[sshunter]

i am sure this has been asked before but i am going to buy a calcium reactor and i was wondering which one is the best and when i say best i mean most reliable and user friendly. Money is not the issue i have herd horror stories about these things. thanks alot

Some are harder to set then others. To put it simple you want to balance the CO2 going into a reactor to what is coming out in a drip to meet the demands of your tank. The CO2 disolves a media that drips into your sump. If you set it right then it can go for awhile without much concern. I have an MRC calcuim reactor that is easy to use and reliable. Its more cost effictive then the european manufactures. I have never tried any of the other brands.
