Glad I read this post before I go ahead and purchase a Calcium reactor, I have a 900G setup, what should I be expecting for a start up?

very easy, for starters you have full control over every element going into your system where as a calcium reactor you have not a lot of control and will require a kalk stirrer also. Plus the co2 bottles.

With the balling system you need 3 x fluid chambers and the GHL doser and thats it.

start by manually adjusting your parameters over 3 days then set your daily dosing to maintain this, check for the first week every other day then after that weekly.

Thanks A-D, you sum it up pretty simple, I do agree with the calcium reator is alot more complex as I dont have much time doing that, this should provide me a better option, I will get in touch with my LFS on this setup.

Is there a formula to figure out how much to start off to maintains levels or is it kinda hit and miss as every tanks usage will be different.
