What size tank and how is your demand?

You need a...
Reactor
Regulator
Recirculation pump
Feed pump
Co2 Bottle
Controller/ph monitor
Media

This is the regulator you want "CarbonDoser Electronic Co2 Regulator"

It's a 40 breeder. I don't need one yet, but from what I've read, CACO2 reactors are for lazy people looking for rock-solid stability (me). What reactor/ph meter/media/etc. do you recommend for my size tank?

For a 40 breeder I would use a reef controller and a two part dosing setup.

For a truly set and forget calcium reactor setup you are looking at a considerable investment. You can have a great dosing setup for just a few hundred and the system will be just as stable.

what 2 part system and controller would you recommend?
