Calcium Reactor info

[reef fool]

I am tired of dosing B-Ionic, so I thought about an auto dosing pump. My other consideration is a Calcium reactor.
Question is, which reactor to buy? Also, are these the best option for calcium stability? I don't mind spending the money if they are the best option.
Any and all input appreciated!
Thanks,
Frank

I second the Geo calcium reactor. George made the secondary reactor I used for over a year. I only stopped using it because I wanted to make a DIY'er with larger diameter tubing. George makes great reactors and skimmers. I would say that with your size tank, a calcium reactor would be a good investment. I think on smaller tanks it may be overkill, but when you get over about 75 gallons (especially if you keep SPS or clams) dosing becomes a hassle.

Dosing is not only a hassle, it gets expensive. You should be able to keep a tank your size at 450 CA for less than $175 a year, not counting equip. I understand bionic can run more than $30 a month. Make sure the low side guage on the regulator is 25psi max, not the welding 150psi max, then you wont have to fiddle with it after dialing it in.
