Above items are for three large tanks>

Below are items I found and excuse me if there be any copied as the same>

Also keep in mind that the 240 gal tank will not be on a waiting hold for at lease two years and I will first proceed with the 150 and then the 180.

Note: Also I not know if the cost on the deltec reactors come with all parts, or I have to spend a few extra hundred on each of them?
Please do take your time, for we still have a few months before I will need to order the reactor for the 150 gal reef tank>
The time is coming ever so near to where i will finally begin to enjoy something out of these tanks> :D:)

Thanks :)

Ok I don't understand what is the purpose of this post? Are you asking for help on deciding what you want or are you selling all this?:confused:
 
Ahh thanks!
That is a lot of choices, lots of opinions out there to look at, it is wise to ask. I would particularly ask DonW & maybe Boomer on these of the best ways to supplement calcium, just from their plain experience with much of this & things have progressed or changed a lot in the past few years on supplementation, which is very important IMO.
 
If you know that you plan to have these three exact tank sizes, and you do not plan to get them all at once (few months time lapse or more between them), you may want to slow down and save some confusion by planing this out one tank at a time.

You wrote that you will set up the 150 tank first. Plan the 150 tank first.

Also, I do not know if the Deltec reactors come complete with all the required equipment needed to run them but I think you should always prepare yourself to spend a little more money than you think for unforeseen expenses (pumps, plumbing parts, CO2 tanks, regulators, etc.), because there WILL be unforeseen expenses when dealing with this many tanks of this size.

Do you have your quarantine tanks running now?
 
No reactor including the deltecs come with everthing needed unless you buy a package deal from a vendor. For tanks that big and since its not my money the only one I would buy would be the deltecs. They easily put out very high dkh effluent (in the 80's) with very little co2.
I would not even concider a pacific coast, knop or a aquamedic.

what about a Schuran Jetstream for a calcium reactor choice? Aren't these supposed to be pretty efficient reactors.

They are sweet reactors but I dont think the big ones are as user friendly as the deltecs and others. They big ones really need a good adjustable peri pump but can put out some seriously high dkh effluent. I'm not sure I'd recommend one as a first reactor.
