Four Mistakes To Avoid When Using A Calcium Reactor.

[@bryantinsley9471]

Thanks, big help, using a Kamoer on a 450 gallon system and having trouble keeping up.

[@LightSearch]

I feed the reactor directly from the overflow through gravity and it's been working fine since I set it up 7 months ago. I let it flow free without any valve, at around 250ml/min.
I don't use a ph probe, I just control alk in the tank by adjusting the CO2 bubble count.

So scared of using carlx. My tank is 220g and I dose 2part. Maybe one day... thanks for the tips!

[@Emmanuel-rs7eu]

Totally right about events happening late at night and on friday nights...Seems like I get my alarms in the middle of the night all the time lol. Great video man!

[@dailycoral]

Very pertinent tips!

[@andycx2]

Can you use any pure aragonite sand in the second chamber?

[@hokemspitter]

You are using ReBorn and Arm in the secondary reactor. They melt at different pH values. How do you reconcile this and what pH do you use to control your CO2 as a result?

[@gabesreef]

I hope to get there one day but I think it would work better on a much larger system than mine.

[@yoshimoto2600]

Do you need to clean the media in the calcium reator? Also do you need to clean the new media going into the reator?

[@FishOfHex]

I don't with the reborn media I use. If u want run it under some rodi

[@yoshimoto2600]

@@FishOfHex thanks for the reply👍

Thanks for another good video Travis. What is the diameter of your calcium reactor? Thinking of going Geo for my 400g. Would you go bigger if you had to do it all over again?

[@uknowwho80]

Travis check out the new echotech dosing pumps , they might be able to help with the calcium reactor

[@zafishguy5166]

Never used one but still informative due to the fact that you never know one day it may be needed

[@MikeLemming]

What’s the reason for the smaller size media in the second chamber? Does it burn off the co2 better?

[@FishOfHex]

yes

[@MikeLemming]

You think it works better than just the same big media size as in the normal chamber? I never thought to run two different sizes..

[@clkong3427]

so for small tank sps u recommend just using kalk alone is good enough?

[@unleashdogscom]

test and see, will eventually need 2/3 part

[@xgd7378]

does the Mag keep with the media only ?

[@FishOfHex]

I use remag and add it once every other month, or when my mag drops

[@dannyyoder7654]

How often do you change your CO2 tanks?

[@FishOfHex]

Idk whenever it runs out

[@tonytrentacosta3789]

I have Geo reactors and second chambers. How far up the label do you fill them with media?

[@FishOfHex]

To the top

[@lukefox4170]

U are a really clever guy..but that wiring...

[@rickg8439]

Make sure!!! Haha
