Calcium Reactor

[Fireworm]

I need or want a Ca reactor. What is a good one to get without breaking the bank? I have a 90g, mainly sps, with a 40g sump.

Don't cheap out on equipment

Actually do cheap out, buy a used reactor Korallin reactors have been around for so many years it is crazy, you can usually find a whole setup with tank & controller for around $300-$400.

Or find another brand of choice used reactor setup. Either way, reefing does no have to cost a fortune if you play it smart.

If you are in the mood of a DIY project you can try this (I have built a similar one and so far runs like a charm):

I would love to do a DIY but I just don't have the time to do it. WIth work, school, coaching kids sports, and family, just not enough time.

Garage1217 --- I have been looking for used ones for a little while. I don't really need a co2 tank, one of the girls I coach in soccer has a father that ownes a welder supply company. He has told me he would give me a tank at coast. I just know I need one after my fiasco today that almost cost me my tank and all of the life in it

Gotcha, Watch craigslist & your local forums. I see them used all the time.

I didn't think about craigs list. My local forum doesn't have much, but I have been looking in the other midwest forums.
