Oversized calcium reactor??

[Davidb6]

What’s the impact of using an over sized calcium reactor?

Would like to switch from manually adding Two Part (http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/) to a reactor. However, I’ll be upgrading to something much larger later this year and don’t want to buy a small reactor now and have to buy a larger one later.

Expect my new system to be about 350 gal+/- (180 display, 40 sump, 40 refug, 100 frag)

Should not be a problem. Worst case, you can run on a timer.

Not a problem, you will just have it dialed down.

Thanks, being new to reactors are there any features or functions I should be looking out for?

Any brands worth mentioning?

Thanks

Check out the Geo 624. Should be adequate for your system. I couldn't be any more happy about my Geo.

if you can find someone that carries them, aqua-euro makes decent cheap CA reactors, i have one on my tank and i like it better than my friends GEO

Look for a dual chamber model with a port for a pH probe in the first chamber.

As I think we discussed on Saturday at the shop, I would really consider taking the corals out and instituting a serious hyposalinity situation....1.009 and let that take 'em out. You could make up a smaller QT tank for the inverts while you do this. I can virtually assure you that you will not find any amount of natural cures at this point. It is way beyond that. Holy poop! I know you said they had a lot....but that is totally ridiculous.
