hi again yall,
im recieving a geo calcium reactor this week and was wondering if all yall with the geo reactors have any advice on mantaining and getting the best out of it. i did get solenoid and a ph controler also.

thanks in advance

i have never used one, but have put much thought into getting one..
i ended up with a life-reef unit from a local reefer

Start slow! also make sure to hook it up in the morning so you can monitor it all day. Also make sure to mount the CO2 somewhere just incase it goes off it won't blow through your ceiling.

goes off? explode u mean....8O

If the Co2 cracks or a seal breaks somewhere it can cause all of the CO2 to burst out of the tank. Possibly causing the CO2 tank to "Lift off"

hey buddy, how did u go with the geo chamber?
i think geo make great looking units that work orsome, im interested in hearing your take on the product?

easy to set up, little maintance, works great. i love it. only thing is finding out how much effulent to drip so that it keeps your alk and calc levels where you want it. i got mines set up and its keepin my levels pretty stable. i only test once a month for alk and calc now and the test stay pretty constant. i rarely add calc and alk now. ohh 1 thing, get the ph controller. its hard as heck to keep levels constant if you dont have a ph controller.

oh 1 more thing. for your media, bigger is better. in the long run, the media doesnt turn into mush. i use the gex x media from premiumaquatics. its comparable to schuran media.
