macro calcium reactor

[sps_dude]

hi..just browsing along my neighbourhood fish shop.......the uncle offer me 150 bucks for a macro calcium reactor + the argonite.........

he alos said it is enough to support a 3 feet tank.......so is it a worth buy ???

and what chemicals u dont need to add if u have a calcium reactor ????? in advance

[andysho]

sounds to be a ok price.. which shop is that...or which area you stay

[sinner]

dun forget a co2 reactor for that but it's still a good price btw wats the brand for the argonite?

[sps_dude]

i think should have....because it is a new set...not second hand one......and i do have a CO2 cylinder.......(last time i got 2 plant tank now got one so got extra bottle)... the brand of the argonite is macro

[sinner]

wah if it comes with the reactor it's a good deal... where is the loaction? mind if you pm me the address? wanna get one for myself too

How much is it selling,"me not so sure"

[sps_dude]

u will only need Iodine supplement if you have a Ca reactor. but be careful when u dose Iodine.. too much can be fatal too

it's actually the co2 container... which you already have

[andysho]

yep from what i heard ....is not easy to tune to the correct dosing when u own this so call first reactor in your life

have to play around with it....

maybe those using reactor can share a bit

[sps_dude]

yah...that uncle also mention that to me......he say must turn on the CO2 gradually.....how many bubble per second is recommended ????? so is it confirm i need only iodine if i use the reactor.........thanks bro......u guys are real pals

i just managed to tune my Ca Reactor after 1 mth. not easy...

[andysho]

geeze cant imagine put another calcium rector plus a co2 system , will make my coming new tank look like a mini

Newwater industry sia

Saw this Macro Calcium reactor before at ML.

Becareful on the tubing, especially the CO2 tubing.

It looks cheapskate and thin.

I wonder if it can withstand the gas pressure.

You might not want to have CO2 leaking while you are sleeping.

[sps_dude]

cant u just change the tubing to a co2 proof one ?????

andysho....cool what look like a mini lab

my questions is : is it true if u have calcium reactor no need other chemicals except iodide

and how many bubbles per second you need to dose the co2????

yes, its true only iodine.

as to how many bubble/sec and effluent drip rate, every tank is different. for me 1.5 bubble/sec works coz i have a SPS/Clams tank. u will need to trail n error... most impt is yr PH of yr effluent.. should be between 6.6-6.8 (me using A.R.M.)

no wonder it's so cheap.... has anybody tried this Macro before?

[sps_dude]

co2 leaking......will never cause death what.....the air we breathe in contains 21 % co2.....just make sure ur room is well ventilated lor..... or will have greenhouse effect......co2 trap heat mah........ so is it a good buy ?????

[andysho]

actually i was thinking to add this cheap reactor,

but better do some research first

i dun want in the middle of the night , the tube leak

and make my room turn into a greenhouse with giant

leaves and twig all around
