Calcium reactor?

scottwhitson · 09/07/2008, 02:13 AM

I am looking at buying a calcium reactor for my curent tank that is a 75 but in the future will be upgrading to something much bigger. Wanted to know some good brands and what are the pro's and con's of any calcium reactor that you own. Thanks for your help.

People seem very positive about the Geo units. I use a Korallin and have been quite happy after making a couple simple mods.

out of curiosity as a korallin owner, what mods did you make?

I have heard good things about the korallin also but was wondering about any others.

I got the top with the probe port so I could better control the reactor pH.

Controlling the effluent rate with those little inline valves was a study in frustration. So I got a plastic needle valve (USPlastics) that screws right into the Korallin's plumbing (in place of the tubing fitting on the outflow line) and put a JG fitting in the output of the needle valve. Works great and is far more stable now.

I also upgraded my regulator. The system is rock solid now.

I've got a myreefcreations unit, it has worked pretty well. I use the dual chamber CR-2 on my 150 gallon tank.
