Want Ca reactor pictures
 
Like to do a DIY Ca reactor, anyone will to share some pictures.

Also see there's two main types, water flows down through media, other where it flows up. Advantages of one over the other?

An upflow reactor breaks the media down more evenly than a downflow.

A third type, like mine, has both up and down flow sections.

I got the basic design idea from melevsreef.com, then sized it down to suit my needs.
