CO2 Regulators for Calcium Reactor

Labridaedicted · Apr 16, 2017

I'm shopping around for a regulator for my calcium reactor and have seen a few options. I was going to build my own using a 2 stage, but they are getting hard to find lightly used ones.

I was looking at the SR Aquarastik one and its it appears to be solidly built from quick look, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the unit.

The other obvious option is the carbon doser.

I am going to be running the reactor on a peristaltic dosing pump, and plan to have the solenoid set on my controller to help maintain ensure the ph doesn't go crazy.

I run a cheap Milwaukee regulator and to be honest if your running it on a controller like an apex, having an expensive regulator isn't necessary. You just need the solenoid to turn on/off. I used this video as a basis on how to set up my CaRX.
