Calcium Reactor???


I have a 75 gallon Reef tank and havent started dosing yet cuz i dont have much corals. I want to get lots of SPS and was thinking about getting a calcium reactor. What is a good calcium reactor for my size tank?? The ones I see are always for like 200 to 300 gallon tanks.. Any sugesstions??

You can dial down those reactors to supplement a 75 gallon setup, but yep, most of them are going to state they're rated for larger tanks. Personally, I wouldnt look at getting a reactor this early in the tank, especially if you're not even dosing anything yet.
