Well i just picked this up the other day cause it was a killer deal. But a friend reminded me i am going somewhere i can't have hard corals so this will be useless. Might as well pass it to someone that will use it. 250 firm. Its whatvi paid and was a killer deal.

Hey mike, the water feed for the unit, does it come from the sump? Or another source?

Whichever you like. It has a mini pump that feeds the whole system. Stick it in an ato reservoir or in the tank it's self. The controller regulates everything on the system side.

Hey sorry for the delay everyone. I've received a ton of pms about the reactor. I've been really busy between work and school. I have a individual interested in the reactor he is coming down wednesday to check it out. I will answer some of the questions I got in PM's on here.
I have no idea on the age of the bottle. I don't see any inspection sticker on the bottle. The regulator has the standard saltcreep corrosion on it. nothing horrible. Might want to replace it. but only surface. PH probe was still wet when i got it and it is still wet now. The lines are pinched at multiple points along all the lines. I have a list of people in order of received PM's and text. I will let the next person know on wednesday if the guy falls through or doesn't want it. thanks.

any welding supply store can fill the tank. it cost about 15$ to fill a 10 lb tank. it cost about 25$ to hydra test if the date is older than 5 years, much cheaper than buying a new tank. I usually go to natwell on I10 and culebra.
