Calcium Reactor for 210

[Deezill]

Ok, folks, I need a Calcium reactor for my 210. I am tired of dosing and want something automatic. What should I go with? not really trying to break the bank.

Bump.

I have reef octopus. It works well. I have the ac pump version. Got it used. If I was to buy a new one, I would go with the dc pump version.

Send me a link to what you have I do like DC pump

I’ve been using the Avast Marine on my 240 for about six months and like it.

Put a link so I can check it out.

Why would you want a dc for a ca reactor?

They are all mostly the same. See if you can find a used setup, save some cash and have a complete package.

BTW - CaRx is not automatic... you still need to set it up and tune it, but then it runs pretty flawlessly. I only glance at mine every day or two to make sure that the effluent is coming out and the bubbles are bubbling. I also life the co2 cylinder every few weeks to make sure that it is not nearing empty.

Quiet!

Did you have any leaks from the union where it attaches to the pump?

I have a sicce pump. Definitely don’t hear it. I would sacrifice proper water flow for silence. That would lead to many issues down the road

 

[ksed]

What is the correct water flow?

What is the correct water flow?

If there is a ac version, look at that gph rating for that unit

Was it complicated to put together? This is the part I have been nervous about putting a CR together.

Get a DaStaco and enjoy the easiest CR on the planet.

No not at all just put the media in hook up the co2 and adjust the ph to your tanks demand the flow rate is already set so you dont have to worry about that.

FYI there is a fairly large variance for flow in a calcium reactor. It’s not just one number.
