Does anyone have any Ideas, or know anything about the Weipro KA1000 Calcium Reactor? Good bad Indifferent?

Yes. There are a few meters that you can add either (Inline) or (Side Line) to any set up. (Sideline) means 1 of 2 things A meter with a "Paddlewheel" that will rotate The rotation is caused by the flow and connect to a display of some sort (mechanical or digital) and will tell you your flow...

Wet drys are very good for a reef. They allow the Microbes to develop that provide nutrition to the tank, and eat the Lousy Ammonia. As far as the Canister or sump. You can go either way. The reasons that I like a sump compared to a canister filter 1. Allows you to expand your tank more (Like...

So I was able to get the Pipping layed last night (Wait that did not come out right). But now this is the question is this. I have a Piece of PVC coming up from the Mag 12. and at the top of the tank I have it Tee'ed off to go to two bars that will deliver the water back in to the tank. What I...

Honestly, an I may get flamed for it. But I use a jebo on the back of my 55g. But i have modded mine to actually work. You are better off using like an Octopus or a berlin. 1 of the good brand names are always good. Remember it is always better to overskim then not to.

So I did the smart thing and RTFM. Well the manufacture states 1½" inside Diameter is the minimum Hose size that should be used for Maximum flow. Only issue is I can not find a ¾ to 1½" fitting with the ¾ side being a female NPT side. Does anyone know where I can find 1?

Ok Let me ask it this way. How often would you normally go through a CO2 bottle on a Calc reactor?

Well you can do what I did. 1. Put a splitter on the RO/DI line coming from Reserve tank. 2.Run line to tank (If you have a basement Like I do, come up through the floor behind tank). 3. Go to Local hardware store 4. Get an all plastic Toilet bowl Tank Fill Valve ( got the 1 with the Float...

So I am thinking of a Calc reactor. But I have 1 concern. How long does a tank of CO2 last on 1 of these?

Yep 3/4. Sry got ahead of myself. Ok So I will redo the Pipes to 1"id Thank you. What about going up to 1 1/2" pipe?

Ok Running the piping from the sump to the tank (110) Ran the Pip from the mag 12 to the tank The fitting on the Mag12 is a 3/8 Thread on the Output and I ran a 1/2id" Pipe to the tank. Is the PVC pipe too small?

No the RO membrane is today. I did not get the membrane in the filter package. So I am going to pick up a new 1 today.
