Looking for a Calcium Reactor

[plyle02]

Hello all,
I am in the market for a calcium reactor, so any of you who were looking to upgrade or getting out of the hobby, please let me know. Rated for a 75+ gallon tank, preferably with the co2 tank.... Thanks,
Perry

Hey Perry!

I bought mine but later wished I made one of the outstanding DIY builds several people here made. Next I'm gonna build one for another tank. FYI: Bought an O2 tank from craigs list for $20 and was able to exchange it for a CO2 tank (cost of fill only $15) found a Milwaukee PH controler/solenoid/valve thru one of the R/C sponsor's http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=4 for $79

Thanks Dak,
I would love to build one, but work has me tied up and days off are just as busy... Nice idea though, I do not want to buy a new one, but am getting a vacation soon so maybe, but one problem with that is I am lacking in tools.....

I met him when he started at Nolan's.
Also, if I walk out of my Grandmother's house, I could throw a rock through his sliding glass doors. LOL. Not that I would. LOL.

Right on, have been there a few times, he has a gorgeous 200+ tank with some real nice stuff. Ich......I have to go to Nolan's and get some 2 part, no pun intended....LOL..... The whole reason for this post, tired of buying 2 part....

Did you get Ich from his tank?
I haven't ever seen that in his tank, but I could have missed it.
Heading to Nolans myself, I need a couple of his overpriced Maxi-jets. LOL.

Have you tried Randys DIY 2 part? Much, much cheaper and IMO just as good.

 

[plyle02]

No,
Justin's tanks are clear, no pests, bugs, nudis, etc..... Just a joke about your favorite LFS.......LOL....
No, I have not tried Randys 2 part, but ultimately like the idea of a reactor, also getting the aquacontroller 2 with ph probe from Ted, and want to interface the reactor to the controller, looking for more automation.....Thanks for the recommendation, I will consider, if I have no luck making or buying one......
