Avast Marine : CA1 Calcium Reactor Kit - Please Bring this Kit Back!!!

[zemuss]

I will be starting out with a 34 gallon Solana and a 40 Gallon Breeder with a 30 gallon sump. Both systems will be using the same sump, so I will roughly have about 90 gallons in volume.

If I need seperate Calc reactors for future plans (90 or 120 rimless) thats fine. Just thought I would keep the systems as one total system but if that isn't doable thats fine.

I'm very interested. Currently setting up a 210 with a 75 gallon sump, so looking at about 300 gallons. Tank will be 90% SPS. Please let us know when these are available.

Thanks! Matt

Avast - I am glad that you are bring it back. I am doing a 320 SPS and already have your K2 and 18X10 Media reactors which I love. What would be the model and costs to support 400G volume? And when will it be released? I am cycling right now.

Thanks.

I need to have one. It's the only thing on my tank that is not Avast. I run an Avast skimmer, Swabbie, ATO, purple reactor, additional m5 reactor & kalk stirrer. The funny part is that I just email Jason a few weeks ago begging for a cal reactor & today I saw this thread. It has my hopes up now.

might as well chime in here, i have a very early avast CA-1 reactor and love it, had it for about 2 or 3 years now.
here is a write up i did when i first built it
CA1 calcium reactor, any reviews? - Reef Central Online Community

been VERY happy with my purchase (technically have two as i bought one for the inlaws).....not sure what if anythign i would change on the reactor cept i may need a larger chamber at some point since im a wee heavy on the sps side of things...

i priced out used Geo's, deltecs, etc...made no sense when i found this a while back...customer service is insane as in almost too good to be true....my entire tank is pretty much avast now.. (media reactor, cs1 skimmer, kalk stirrer, ca rx, porthole)..if only they made tanks...hint hint haha.

Kits are done and Justin is coming down to the shop Friday to pick them all up. This first batch is pretty limited supply (only about 3 dozen reactors) so shoot us a email if your interested. I don't want to put pricing up on a general forum but that is all worked out as well so we can answer all of those questions via email.

Please, no PM's. Here is the best contact route: AVAST Marine Works - Contact Us

Thanks for supporting AVAST!

Avast do you have a smaller one for a 34 gallon, or can I use the one rated at 150 gallons?

Sent Avast marine a email no return message. Did anyone get emails returned ?

 

[zemuss]

I filled out the contact us over the weekend and figure i will be contacted sometime this week

 

[killereef]

I like to get one but depending on price.

 

[CoralFragZ]

No response so I went with Reef Ocotpus -SRO-5000 Reactor. Got it in and it is built like a tank.

Justin just got the reactors on Friday and is in process of putting together a few of the kits so he can write the assembly manual and help answer any support questions. He will get back to everyone but, we can't ship any reactor kits until the assembly instructions are finished

I will post pricing info on our sponsor forum since that is more than likely the primary question folks would like answered.
