Watch your levels close Wesley. You need to find the proper amount to dose and you won't know until you see how much Ca is depleted and how fast.

First off...Hello! Got a link to this video off another forum.
I have a custom made kalk reactor coming next week but I went ahead and made one of these to tide me over until it gets here. I have a Ca reactor that can only get the Ca about 435ppm and not any higher and I have it cranked.
Works great for no more then what I have in it. Thanks for the video.

Hey Rob,

Great Video, I would like to see a video on how to set-up/run a calcium reactor, I have read up on them but I learn better or would say get a betterr grasp by seeing then reading, I have a 90 gallon tank with mostly softies/mushrooms/lps. I really want to go sps but i get confused / Afraid to take that jump.

Thanks
EJ

Once you see how a Ca reactor runs you will kick your self in the butt for not doing it years ago. It is a real easy piece of equipment.
