Need a new calcium reactor
 
After fiddling with my precision marine 422 calcium reactor, I have come to the conclusion it's just not big enough.

So I am looking for a good reactor that can supply my 200g system. It has to be easy to hook up and use because I'm a technological and DIY moron.:redface: :lol:
Any suggestions?

PM Jason (support@prolineaquatics) and he'll let you know when they'll be available and who you can pick them up from.

Stupid question - How do you know your precision marine 422 calcium reactor is too small? I am looking at buying a calcium reactor (tired of making Kalk every second day). The precision marine is rated at a maximum tank size of 400 gal which I thought would be enough for a 250 gal tank. Do you think I should go to a precision marine CR-622 rated for 700 gal?

The reactor I have is rated for 250g http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...product=PM3111.

I have a huge growth spurt with all my corals plus the corraline algae is becoming a nuisance. After spending a couple of months fiddling with the reactor I can't keep my calcium level up even though I am dripping kalk as well.

I run a PM 422 and have no problem keeping my CA at or above 400.

What type of salt are you using. Could it be your salt is causeing your water to run low and the Reactor can't raise it?

I've been running Kent and now Ocean Pure and haven't ever thought I needed to upgrade my CA Reactor

I use instant ocean but I bring the calcium and Mg up at least 24hrs before a water change. My other 2 tanks don't have any problems and my 20g uses water changes alone for its cal and alk.
