Two weeks after starting the use of LifeReef's Calcium Reactor and I have never had better water test results than from this past week. All water samples are taken just prior to water changes to represent the time at which I would have potentially the worst water quality. I am happy to see every single parameter is within the recommended range for the first time ever! The tank is looking better and better every day that passes, and I wish I had installed the reactor earlier!!

Updated water test results from AquariumWaterTesting.com. I had started waiting two weeks between water changes which might be the reason for the build up in Silica. Obviously the Calcium Reactor is doing a great job of keeping Calcium and Magnesium numbers up!

Sold my softie covered rock which was growing like crazy and made room for stick frags. More swimming space too!

Decided that I might have too much flow with two Vortech's so I temporarily removed one and placed the second to the lower back side. This will bring flow to the lower rear which was low before and open up a lot more swimming space!

I also fragged several corals and glued them into freshly drilled holes in a small rock.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
