Re: Ryans Reef

Scott keeps some VERY nice stuff and said I could pick anything that I wanted. He keeps a 90 gallon frag tank that the last time I saw was packed to the hilt so who knows what Ill end up with. Im not going to go hog assed about it but a few frags would be cool with me. He told me he could give me a tank full if I wanted but Im going to be respectful with the situation.

The kind that involves two part by Randy Holmes-Farley. Dont really have room for a reactor but if I did I would choose an Octopus with twin chambers because they have a spot for the Ph probe without floating it on a piece of styrofoam.

Re: Ryans Reef

Just for conversations sake, if I do have the option of a calcium reactor, which is going to be the easiest to get dialed in and maintain on a daily basis? Then what do you do for alkalinity and magnesium?

The ca reactor will take care of ca and alk, you just need to dose mag.

Re: Ryans Reef

I'm thinking I might look into the Geo reactors later on.But I have no idea which one would be the easiest to set up and use.

Re: Ryans Reef

I have heard that the secret to the reactor is the bubble counter. Most of the reactors are built a lot alike.
