Hi everybody.

I need some advice on buying a calcium reactor. Could I please get some recommendations on brands / models. Never had one before, I'm getting sick and tired of constantly adding calcium and carbonate hardness. From my understanding I will also need a controller and C02? My expectations would be for it to control my calcium and KH levels. We are also going to Europe for 6 weeks, so I need a solution so that I can just get someone top off RO and not have to worry about Calcium and KH.

Thanks.

    I'm a huge fan of the Korallin Calcium Reactors. I really like the little 1502 model they have. What is the water volume of your system?

    600 litres or 160 gallons.

    The Korallin 1502 is more than adequate for your system. What you'll want is the Korallin 1502, 5lb Co2 Tank, Dual Gauge Regulator with CGA-320 fitting, Co2 Shut off Solenoid, and PH Controller for the Solenoid. This is the "autopilot system" ... It will take a few days or so of very small adjustments to get the reactor dialed in, but after that it's pretty much solid as a rock...
