CodeToad Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Well, anyone out there have any cool ideas for a tiny CA reactor? I've been kicking the idea around for my 5.5 gallon reef for a while now. Link to comment
onthefly Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Well I know MRC makes a "nano-CR"...not sure on the size. Why not just set up a nielsen reactor on a dosing pump? Much less complicated and greater room for error. If your effluent gets out of wack, your pH could drop like a rock before a controller get a hold of it. I use Kalk on mine and my Ca and Alk are pretty stable.....maybe a jolt of buffer once a week. Link to comment
fade2black Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I agree with onthefly, I use a kalk reactor as well. Email me as I make custom kalk reactors. I can probably make one to fit anywhere you need it Link to comment
onthefly Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hey Fade, Do you have a pic of a unit with the stirrer? Link to comment
fade2black Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 With the magnetic stirrer? Here are some pics of the first one I made (that is still in use on my tank) http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=33615 The design has changed since then. If you look at the reactor's on my web page that is a better representation of what they look like now. I don't use SS screws anymore as my supply dried up. I like the nylon thumb screws better anyway. I was going to design one mixed with a Maxi-Jet 900, but interest has been lacking so it's been put on hold for now. That doesn't mean I couldn't be persuaded to do it though Link to comment
