I was looking at GEO’s today and went for a Geo 624!
Where can I get one of these Alan Le regulators?
Thanks!
I'm looking to replace an old K2R (these haven't been made in years, not currently installed on my newest system) with an Aquarium Engineering Automated Calcium Reactor. Actually was steered in that direction following a link crusso provided in another thread. I'm impressed with the equipment this company makes, lifetime warranty kinda hard to beat. Not all of their reactors are automated. Might be worth a look.
Wow this is coming together rather quickly. Have a Watson Marlow 505u coming in.
So far:
GEO CR624
Alan Le SS Regulator
Watson Marlow Pump
I would love to hear your comment on the Watson and marlow noise. My masterflex is so loud I can hear the 60 hz hum from every room in the house
Not looking to hijack the thread.. What all does a CaRx require? Can you buy a complete unit or does it require multiple pieces? Ive never seen one in person but one day I know I will need one.
Ive been watching the thread and been trying to figure out exactly what is needed. It does seem that its a multi equipment gig with the CaRx. Especially not understanding how they work can make it a touch confusing.

This is exactly where my researching has led me. I want to do it the right way and know it will not be cheap. Ive tried in the past with the good enough to get by.. Ive moved past those experiences as 9 out of 10 times its cheaper and easier to do it right the first time in the long run.Rarely are they ready to go right out of the box. Definitely don’t expect it to be like a skimmer or a light panel. It will require some retrofitting, other equipment (many pieces not even hobby grade if you’re doing it right) and a lot of research on how to get them to work ideally. A poorly set up reactor can be more of a source of alkalinity instability, more busy work, and more stress if you don’t prepare properly. A correctly set up one will basically reduce alkalinity, calcium, and trace element supplementing down to the touch of a single knob, and a once a year cleaning
So a question on what actually is dosed while using a CalRx....I understand that Alk & Cal are taking care of and with the addition of a of mag source (zeo Mag or equivalent). What levels of trace elements can we expect as I’ve always been a 2-part guy and dosed the individual elements.
I picked up a practically brand new Watson Marlow 505u off of ebay for a really good deal. It’s an industrial grade variable speed peristaltic pump.
