Equipment

I did say the build was going to be a slow burn. But, I am on my final month of 0% interest on my credit card that got me though all the home renovations and new appliances… So why not splurge just a little?

I’ve set every thing up on this tank with all the nice things the last tank never had… a sump... huge skimmer… LED… semi-automatic water changing… and now finally, the ultimate reef junky toy… a calcium reactor…

I decided to go with a GEO 612 Calcium Reactor ...

Any reason not to get a Calcium Reactor?
Other then money...

I've always done 2-Part, and have dosing pumps... The tanks demand is light for the moment, because I'm still getting corals. The trace elements and automaton perk my interests. - A Kalk reactor did come to mind for the mid-step. But I read too many tank disasters involving Kalk OD's ... Unless I'm missing something that seems kind of impossible with a calcium reactor.

If I do this, we're not holding any ...

Lots of photos, you have been warned…
