the acro-cal reactor was ok at first, but as time went on it started to do weird things. it would stop taking in CO2 at times or the impeller would just stop spinning, so in the long run its not the most reliable reactor but it definitely will fit the budget of those that want something for there nanos without breaking the bank.

lol i know eh? let everyone know that it'll break after a few months but say it wont break the bank and that there is what seals the deal now on a note for those that cant pick up internet sarcasm, these units are not worth the money, bubble magus calcium reactors are $50 more and 200x better

so ever since i started working at Oceanic Corals i stare at that big vertex reactor every time i go...they just had to have it sitting out in the open so..the temptation got to me and i JUST HAD TO GET IT (imagine what my girlfriend said when she heard that). So after a few weeks of getting everything together and waiting on the pellets the reactor is finally running.

For those who have been into the store, i am tumbling these pellets faster as a test to see how fine i can get the mulms coming out of the reactor to be as we all know SPS corals cant catch things that are too big and even cyclopeeze is hard for some to catch. So hopefully the speed of the tumbling will do SOMETHING other then to lower the overall maintenance of the reactor.
