we are trying to do it right putting all the money where it needs to be most. 1 protein skimmer.... am getting a fluidized chamber next week........reefkeeper elite next month.......... what else should we add??? going to add a calcreactor(sp) last....... any suggestions?

Is that a Kalk reactor or a calcium reactor? with a system your size im not sure that a Kalk reactor would be practical? You may need to get a calcium reactor unless you plan on softies or minimal skelotal corals. but either way research the Kalk reactor before purchasing it.

I love my reefkeeper elite. and that will make a calcium reactor much easier if you go that route.

Are you using an auto top off? Do you have good flow in the tank? Some Vortechs or tunzes are nice for larger tanks lacking good flow.

Alan&Rene · Feb 22, 2009

Yes I am using and auto top off. flow is ok not great yet. going to add some flow items soon.
