nano calcium reactor

[jason7504]

ive been looking at some calcium reactors for the future but all of the ones that ive seen are for big tanks(150+ gallons)..are there any calcium reactors for nano or smaller tanks?

I've never seen one. I'm not sure it's even possible, given the tiny system volume -- the effluent drip rate would have to be really slow. Good question though.

Water changes are a must in a small tank, and they should be enough to keep up with your calcium use.

 

If not, Kalkwasser should be enough.

ok is there any real benefit to using a kalk stirrer?

MRC makes a HOT calcium reactor that is pretty cool.

I really think though you could just dose and do water changes and that would do more than enough in a tank that size.

haha sweet so there are some! i will probably just dose and do water changes but just for the future if i need one then i know they do make nano ca reactors ...i plan on keeping mostly LPS and SPS

I have one of those MRC HOT ones on my Oceanic now. IT works ok but am switching when the ELos comes around. I might sell it or use it on the frag set up am not sure. They seem to work all right but the mag pump I do not like very much.

what dont you like about it?

For a nano tank it works great. But I am moving onto a bigger tank and would like to have a full size unit. Plus I have a nicer one in a box in the garage:D
