calcium reactor

Hi Everyone, I am currently in the process of getting my calcium reactor booted for my 120g tank. I have a handful of frags in the system but figured I’d get this calcium reactor going early on and adjust as demand goes up. The tank was originally plumbed to support the reactor however I never...

So I have been trying to tune my calcium reactor for weeks but either the effluent coming out isn’t enough or it’s to much, I am even using a pump that goes up by microliters and I go up just a little bit and that over shoots it’s some how, I have tried raising and lowering the ph in my reactor...

I am trying to set up my kh director to control my calcium reactor but I’m A little confused on how it works, I said a nominal value change in the minimum and maximum and it doesn’t change anything when my alkalinity goes to high or too low, does anyone know exactly how to get this to work with...

I need to buy a c02 regular for my calcium reactor and I can’t afford anything fancy like the carbon doser, what cheaper regulators would you guys recommend? Does the output pressure have be be adjustable? I found one for 60$ but the output pressure is not adjustable and it’s at 20-35 is that to...

Dear all, I have installed in sump calcium reactor by Octopus. It is their 220 model. It worked fine for about a week with partially closed gas recirculation conduit. Now it has a bunch of gas circulating trough it. The regulator is Carbondoser. The effluent is pulled through with the Kamoer...

I am transitioning from dosing calcium/ alkalinity solution to using a calcium reactor. I appreciate any recommendations and I have two main questions: 1. How much I should continue dosing as the calcium reactor gets going. Does my math look correct? 2. Where should I direct the effluent...

i’ve been in the hobby for a while but have never touched a calcium reactor do i test more regularly for my calcium and alk or not?

Hi all, Interested in buying automatic Ca reactor, either Dastaco A2, or Deltec CRTT 1500. My tank is 330 gal. Please, let me know what you have.

Geo reef CR818 CALCIUM REACTOR Never seen water $720 shipped

So I just installed my reactor last week can’t seem to get my chamber going Ph is at 5.85 I’m currently running 1 bobble per second and one drip per sec also can’t get a good flow inside the chamber Im pushing water in at 40 ml per second with a kamoer peresaltic pump Any pointers help...

Selling this GEO CR618. Cleaned and ready to go. Shipping will be expensive but I'm willing to ship. $375 shipped. The only observation I could add is that I had a small leak in the Sicce pump intake so I decided to apply super glue. This does not affect the performance of the reactor in any...

I am looking to buy a used Korallin S or C 3002 to use as a sulfur denitrator. I do not need the media. The calcium reactor can be back converted to a sulfur denitrator. I am located in New York and could pay to have the unit shipped. This is my first post on Reef 2 Reef. Please see my...

Leaving the hobby. This unit was flawless when I had it running. I simply replaced the co2 when it needed replacing. Super stable and automatic. Local pickup only at Winter Garden Florida. Dastaco A4 $1600 with power convertor 2x 10 Gal co2 tanks (including wall bracket) Regulator 1 1/2 boxes...

Hi, I started to use a calcium reactor (Deltec) since three weeks ago. The aquarium is about 148 gallon and is a mix aquarium. The PH in the reactor is between 6.5 and 6.7. The PH probe is connected to the Apex. The drip rate is about 3 drops/s and CO2 bubble count in the reactor is about...

People who run CalRx have to make sure to keep an eye on their CO2 tank and be ready to get it filled on a moment's notice, or if you have a spare full tank, be ready to swap the backup tank for the active one when it runs out. The thing is, CalRx's often end up being a set it and forget it type...

Hello. I have a calcium reactor and recently decided to try out Red Sea Color program. The recommended dosage depends on the calcium dosing. Since I am not dosing calcium, I don't know how to determine my calcium dosage. Any insights? Thanks in advance.

I’m new to corals and I had a question about calcium reactor. Does this replace the need to dos for alk cal and mg? If so which one is better for ur system . Maybe I’m thinking it’s doing somthing different then it really is.... maybe someone can answer a few questions for me or knowledge me in...

Hi, I have bought a used Bubble Magus calcium reaktor, but I can't figure out how to connect it. There are two plastic tubing, I believe one for CO2 input and the other for water output. But I can't see any tubing for water input. I couldn't find any user guide on the internet. Any hint...

In great condition used for 1 year sporadically. Just too big. I bought an extra pump to have on hand as well 350 plus shipping

My calcium is high 520 my alkalinity is low minimum how long can I run the reactor

Different take on the CO2 purge... I finally got on board with doing more purges with my Aquarium Engineering stacked reactor. I started at once a week then a few times a week, and now daily. Few observations that need testing to verify but it seems very plausible... 1) How often you purge...

Hi - My DaStaCo2 started alarming about once a day, so I thought I'd turn it off and give it a good cleaning. I replaced the peristaltic pump tube, cleaned the impeller, etc. All seemed ok, but did the maintenance anyway. I cannot get it to work now, it runs for a couple minutes and then gives...
