Calcium Reactor and Components

[erikharrison]

I am to the point where I will be looking into calcium reactors. I would like to know what brand would be best for my 100g total system. Also, what components are available and what is needed. Any common pitfalls to avoid would be great as well! I am looking for the easiest one to work with. Also, do I need to purchase a controller to run this with? I am going to buy a RK2.

An RKII should run it, that's what I got to run mine with.

I'd say to check around for a CA reactor with dual chambers as from what I've read it allows the water to stabilize the PH before dumping into the system.

I think Ace will be building mine, I am going to buy an RK2 hopefully next week! Thanks for the info Mike!

Call ahead to Kingfish and set up a time to see theirs running. Honestly I bought my RK2 because of the nice tiny blue interface. It's one of the smallest packages out there.
