DRLOVEtoreef Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 If you were Designing a sps only system With total volume around fifty gallons would you dose with a dosing pump or use a calcium Reactor Link to comment
disaster999 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 i have a 100gal sps tank and i dose my tank everyday by hand. dosing pump would be much simpler, calcium reactor requires a lot more fine adjustment and larger foot print and more equipment Link to comment

I do travel a lot and dosing by hand isn't much of an option ... thus I have to look at a dosing pump setup or a reactor .. .thoughts? Love your tank picture in your sig btw ... just beautiful!

disaster999 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 ill lean towards a dosing pump over a calcium reactor. the fact that it can dose more than one element at a time blows the calcium reactor away. Link to comment
DRLOVEtoreef Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 ill lean towards a dosing pump over a calcium reactor. the fact that it can dose more than one element at a time blows the calcium reactor away. can't you add magnesium to the calcium reactors now to compensate for that? otherwise, the alk and calcium are taken care of ... am I mistaken on that? Thanks. Link to comment
