i finally finished putting these together, but they didnt turn out as perfect as i would like, so i am selling them for $250 each instead of the $350 i was gonna ask. each one has two reactors - one tube is a kalk reactor (you will still need a stirring pump and a feed pump) and the other tube is a calcium reactor (you will still need a circulation pump, feed pump and the CO2 setup)

:P :D

had some PMs about this so i thought i would explain a little
there are two separate reactors for sale
each ONE of these reactors has TWO tubes that are separate reactors.
one of the tubes is a kalk reactor similar to this (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PM-KALKREC&Category_Code=creactor) except it does not come with a stirring pump.

the other tube is a calcium reactor similar to this (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PA-GEO624&Category_Code=creactor) ecept it does not come with the stirring pump.

if i were gonna set up one of these reactors, the follow are the stirring pumps, dosing pump, supply pump and CO2 setup that i would use (they are only recommendations - you could use different ones if you wanted) - hence these are the additional things you would need to buy to set these reactors up on your tank
kalk reactor
stirring pump (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PW-10PX&Category_Code=Panworld) - $65
dosing pump (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AM-70100&Category_Code=Dosers) - $83

CO2 tank (http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=RF-CO2-T5&Category_Code=co2units) - $75

If you ever thought about setting-up reactors, these are as cheep as your're gonna get. I don't mean in quality.
If you want to keep an SPS tank, then reactors like these are a must for the high calcium demands. They will help regulate your Alk and Ca. I would be all over one of these but we built MONSTERS for my tank. They too were made by Ace.

If anyone is going to S.A., I would gladly give them gas money to pick up one of these. It is just going to be really hard for me to get down there and I want one of these. Anyone?

I too live in N. Austin and would buy one if I could get help setting it up or detailed instructions. How many gallons will it support?

reaction tubes are 6" diameter, footprint is slightly larger than 11" X 15"

probably good for up to 300 gallon system (best guess on my part). i would be glad to walk you thru the setup ;)

Ace.... Ever since getting the sump and you showing me these, I have been non stop thinking why I dont really need this. and how much money this is going to cost me... LOL BUT there really is no reason why I don't need it. :D
I will take one if its still available. I can paypal or come get it sometime next week. Oh, and when I come, I am going to bring my PM skimmer and have you explain it to me, because for the life of me, I don't get it.

btw, once these two are gone, the price will be $350 each for any i make in the future. as stated before these have some flaws so i wont charge full price for em.... that is why these two are $200 each.
