Most importantly both models do the job without 200 lbs of media
And they work perfectly. Not sure you will find anything that utilises media and CO2 any better

I think it happens when you try to correct decrease in Ca++ and alkalinity in the Pacific due to polar ice caps melting...I wonder at what point you find that one is not enough (not my picture) ......

Have the Deltec 3000 and like it. while automatic, it can be connected to a controller for even more control. I have mine set to adjust feed as alk varies, and to let me know the instant I’m out of co2.

Congrats on the Deltec 10000! Im very intrested to see how this works out for your system. By the time I'm ready for a calcium reactor this is for sure my #1 choice.

I went from a Vertex RX-C 6D to a Schuran CR250.
And if there are two things I miss.
First thing is a flow meter. Taking time with a measuring cup is a waste of time.
The second is a degassing chamber.
A degassing chamber saves you a lot of CO2 but most importantly it raises your pH.

So the way I take it, on larger tanks, it is better to have a reactor than dozing...correct?

Thank you...I did not call them yet..but I could not find any by browsing on the net...That's why I have not decided to buy it yet. They should have something on the net so you can see it or at least to know the price. I dont know why they could not do it

It is arguably cheaper over the long run. The reactors can run for 3 or 4 months without intervention once dialed in.
Also, the dissolving material, which is coral skeletons or something similar, can supplement other elements into the tank. I only have experience with Kalk and Ca Reactors with dosing as needed... I am guessing there are guys with big tanks who make three part with bulk ingredients.

I’m not sure I understand what you are looking for.

I m looking for to buy their calcium reactor. I just worry if some day my controller went bad and I don't have another controller right away. Like I said I didn't find it in their website. If you can pinpoint it , that would be great.

It is not on the website - but the people at Deltec USA are very responsive. I have heard that the proprietary parts (like the pump and controller) could take a few weeks to obtain if they break, which is the downside of using this reactor. Try calling Deltec USA and ask if they keep parts on hand for rapid shipping, and if not, how long it would take them to get your reactor back up if your DC pump fails or your controller dies.

Thank you. This is exactly I tried to say. On the other traditional CaRx , I have everything to backup. Just a few hours my CaRx will be back running if any of these failed. The pump, the ph controller, the regulator...
