Ca Reactor suggestions

lolgranny · Sep 27, 2016

Hey all,

Ive had troubles with kalk lately and its time to swap over to a Ca reactor. I talked to a good friend of mind and he suggested the MTC Procal reactor. Ive been having a hard time getting ahold of these guys and when i did they said it would take 2-4 weeks until its done at the earliest. Not a big concern there. He also let me know they removed the bubble counter on the reactor (not sure why, nor do i know how you would know the co2 flow)

I figured i would see if anyone had any other suggestions for me as i feel no bubble counter is a concern even with a Aquarium PLants reg on it. I could be wrong. Its my first time with a Ca reactor.

With that said, i have roughly 350g total sps dominate tank. I will be upgrading to roughly 500-600 gallons down the road so something that works with both would be great.

Thanks
Dave

I would agree with the not needing a bubble counter, but most reactors come with one. I personally don't use the counter on the unit, I use the counter on the regulator.

I have the Vertex dual chamber reactor and it is amazing. Have a look at my build thread here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/93-gallon-cube-build.226976/page-4#post-3146594

Geo!! They handled my order quick and they were very helpful. Worth every dollar. I ordered the second chamber as well which will help with PH fluctuations and it does bring a bubble
Counter. I'd heard nothing but great things about GEO. Another option if money is no issue are the Dastaco brand.
