Default Ca reactor...

Hey all!

I'm starting up a new 72g setup in about a week or so once I move to Vancouver and I was just wondering what type of calcium reactor you might recommend from J&L or some other LFS. I haven't heard wonderful things about that Tunze HOB reactor, but I just want to get most of the major expenses out of the way before I start work July 1. I don't know much of anything about reactors, but wanted some type of decent setup that does a great job that I can rely on as far as Ca goes. And of course the less expensive the better... LoL...

Thx all!

Jeff

I just spent $150 each for PH controller / 10LB CO2 tank / Regulator, bubble counter, solenoid so that is $450 right there

However ... I just finished building the DJ88 dual stage reactor ( just tweaking it right now ) and so far real happy with it

If you know someone in Ontario that could check it out the price is certainly right

Cheers
