    I purchased a used a Myreefcreations CR-6. It is a dual chamber reactor. It has a pinpoint PH monitor, PH, blue line pump. It has the T adapter so you can check the effulent going from the first chamber to the second. It also has the regulators and bubble counter. I have a few questions. 1) I...

    When I first set up a calcium reactor several years ago, I read that the best way to tune them was by testing the effluent pH. I got that advice from articles like the following: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-05/sh/feature/index.php But, after almost overdosing my tank (alk shot up...

    I recently ordered a Pinpoint pH Controller and it has the ability to controller pH both high and low. I am hooking the high to my calcium reactor. I was thinking of adding a DIY Kalk reactor hooked up to the controller for raising pH if and when it got low. then I would just have a container...

    I am looking for a set of instructions for a calcium reactor. I am building a DIY dual chamber reactor but would just like to read thru a set of instructions from a regular reactor like a knop, k2r, or any other. A data file or hard copy would do. I would pay someone for a photo copy. Eric...

    If so, what have you noticed? Before and after. Any brands preferences? Rowaphos, Phosban, etc.. How do you apply these? A bag in the sump doesn't work unless you shake it up daily. So have you gone with reactors like the Deltec $$-model, or the Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor 150 thats...

    I was wondering, if most of you that run Calcium reactors use a single or double chamber reactor? If I understand these things the second chamber is only to remove excess Co2 before the influent is pumped back to the tank? I have an AquaC EV 240 and it has a fitting to run the influent through...
