I guess you didn't like the names I suggested hahahah

Mark me down for a CA1. (DIY or You Built)

what is the EC1 for?

revhtree · May 15, 2012

Very cool!

feh · May 15, 2012

I might be looking into one of these if 2part gets to where it doesn't keep up with the demand later on... nice foot print.

Is this going to be available from here on out, or is it a limited production run on these things?

They will be a permanent part of our product lineup. Sorry for the delay on these; I am still putting the production model through its paces on my large system to make sure everything is exactly right.

the EC1 would be the 2nd chamber which doubles the system for heavier demanding SPS dominant or larger reef tanks

Are these still available? I went to your website and didn't find them. Looking for a CA2 you built model.

Thanks!

Looks like an awesome design! Might end up selling my GEO and trying yours!

zemuss · Aug 8, 2012

Did these go on the site yet?

We actually just finished up the testing and are working on the documentation now. At the last minute we decided to try something a little different and wanted to do some extended testing on it before release. Good news, it worked and is a major improvement

serpent · Aug 9, 2012

Woohoo! Can't wait for it to hit the site!

five O · Aug 21, 2012

I can't wait, I have money in hand just waiting for them to post up on the site.

I can't wait for this Calc reactor...

So would I need the K1-kit to compliment the Calc? Or will the Calc reactor help stabilize both CALC and Alk? If I understand it correctly I only need the calc reactor right?

reefstricken · Aug 22, 2012

can't wait either, been checking everyday, getting close? Can I send you my money!!?

zemuss · Sep 4, 2012

Chomping at the bit here.

Also will i need the K1 or will the Calc reactor take care of both?

You only need the CaRX for balanced Cal & Alk addition.
Some people use kalk in addition to help raise pH ... the low-PH effluent coming from the CaRX can depress pH especially in tanks with suboptimal gas exchange, and at night...
