Hello,
I have watched with interest what Dave & his squad have started and grown. If it works don't fix it-the only Americanism I've ever liked after hearing it many times whilst in a uniform. You should be proud of what you've created, hence my decision to join now
I'm almost 74, played music and the fool and some football for most of my life. Extremely happy age 10-16 that determined the road map for the next 60 years. Living in Salisbury, England { think Stonehenge }.
Have a very intelligent and clever son { Brit army off } the best d-i-l globally and the 2 smartest, funniest G'sons ever born. What have I done to deserve it all, NOT A THING. I once ran the largest football competition of its kind in Europe in the 1980s!
In approximately 6-7 weeks { depending on deliveries from France } I'll be the proud owner of a new white Red Sea MAX S-650. For most of the last 10 years I've been involved with Indian league football, but due to a little MS-type problem this will mean only going for a couple of weeks at a time, but don't pity me as I had the best wife ever and not one month of my life has been boring.
Being a Piscean I've ALWAYS loved the beach / sea but can't swim so having an aquarium of some kind has always happened . Due to the incredible tech advances made in the last 20 years there are some great private and public admittance aquariums. I'm now single, content & have the remote and try to hit a golf ball almost once a week.

To have a Calcium R or no, that's the question, the boss says no but others disagreeing, so what's the general " rule of thumb then "? I've used RedSea Pro most of the time, price though could be less!
Finally, is there a R@R Association in England?

Welcome to R2R! Calcium reactor is going to depend on the corals you want to keep. If you're doing high demand sps corals than a reactor or 2 part dosing is a must. If you're doing soft and lps corals then water changes can usually keep up with the demand :)

Welcome to R2R it’s great to have you with us!

I’ve got the Max S 650 so if you need to know anything don’t hesitate to ask or check out my build thread below

The Calcium reactor is up to you, I personally don’t use one and just do normal dosing of the foundation elements, but it’s your tank and your choice

There’s a UK members section within R2R as follows

Welcome to R2R! Thanks for sharing your background, I live by the saying if it’s not broken don’t fix it mostly because I’m lazy ;) Good luck with your MS battles.. my daughter who is 30 and has been fighting this horrible disease for the last 15 years of her life, she still lives with us and we do the best we can to make her comfortable but it’s a constant struggle. Be sure to start a build thread and share your new Red Sea tank, we love pictures :)

Regards,
Charles
