    Two osmolator sets for security?

    Hi! I am paying with the idea of placing a second osmolator in my sump. The osmolator I have now is a Tunze. It's (nearly) impossible that it gets stuck on. But it still get stuck off, even only because the little pump could fail. So I am thinking of placing a second osmolator set (the usual air...

    Wich kalkwasser/Nielsen reactor to choose ?

    To Mojoreef's request here are the links to the different products so far. It helps and brings confusion alltogether. Only one thing is clear: the Deltec is out of price and out of the question.

    Wich kalkwasser/Nielsen reactor to choose ?

    Also I would like to ask: does a greater volume of water necessarily mean you can wait longer to add more powder? I understand that if you have a bigger system you need a greater volume of water to put more powder because it's exhausted more quickly. But can you use the extra volume to put more...

    Wich kalkwasser/Nielsen reactor to choose ?

    I have no experience at all with kalkwasser. Why are those expectations high? What should be a realistic expectation in regards to water parameters and frequency of powder additions?

    Wich kalkwasser/Nielsen reactor to choose ?

    I would like to keep calcium around 400ppm and alk between 9 and 10 in a 210gal mixed reef tank and be able to wait at least 2 weeks before having to add more powder (a month would be better!).

    Wich kalkwasser/Nielsen reactor to choose ?

    Hi! I want to buy a Nielsen/kalkwasser reactor. I am hesitating as to wich one (what brand) I should get. I am leaning toward the Aquamedic. It seems to hold a greater volume of water and I guess it means I can put more powder and have to add powder less often. I dont want to have to add powder...

    Convict/engineer blenny, jawfish, and small tankmates

    That was a complete awnser, thanks ! I guess I would sum it up to "EG no, jawfish yes". I plan to wait for the tank upgrade to add the trio of jawfish. Unless I decide to take a single specimen. I am thinking of a blue dot (Rosenblatti), but they are kind of rare. What kind of set up would be...
