Calcium reactors

[avignos]

I'm brand new to this forum and I am getting ready to set up a 90 gal reef I have looked into calcium reactors and need some advice. What do you use, how hard was it to get the flow right, and would you buy it again?

I don't own a calcium reactor yet, but here are a few threads to check out, until we get some others to post their input:

I got mine from my reef creations(cr-1 model) and the the instructions they send are very easy to follow. I use the carb sea reactor media that I got from premium aquatics and haven't any problems with it. As for getting the flow right, just take your time and let the changes take effect before making more changes and yes I would buy it a again all over because once it's set there's not to much to do to it again.

If you are looking to purchase, the GEO brand are good and reasonably priced as well. I have not used them myself, as I made my own, but i looked at them seriously before hand.

If your intrested in DIY this is a very simple one to build. A few guys from WRS have built these and sold off their commercially made ones. They all rave about them. I will be building one of these once my calcium demand requires it.
