CR612 Calcium Reactor Thoughts?

JaysLittleOcean · 06/28/2015, 07:50 PM

I'm in the market for a new Calcium Reactor for my aquarium (180+ gallons total system volume) and I wanted to hear thoughts on the Geos Reef CR612 Calcium Reactor? If anyone owns one I would appreciate hearing what your experiencing with the calcium reactor was like. Pros & Cons. That would assist in me in determining if this calcium reactor is a viable option for my system.

Best reactors on the market, best service. Can't possibly go wrong.

Thanks for the input. Which do you run on your system? What kind of cotals do you raise? What type of media are you using inside the calcium reactor and how often do you need tk change it?

I have an 817 (an off size but exact same sort of reactor). Used to run AquaMedic hydrocarbonat but they don't sell it anymore in the US. Sadly. So running a normal media (TLF OR GENX) coarse with some dolomite to balance mag. Keep oh in chamber at 6.45 or so. SPS tank, media lasts a good 5-6 mos.

Set n forget.

Very nice. Any concerns with low pH coming from the effluent? What about running a second chamber? Do you think that is necessary.

About 300 total gallons so not concerned. Constant kalk topoff helps
