Default looking to build calcium reactor

Does anyone have plans or know a good link for a good DIY calcium reactor.

I have very limited DIY skills so I am looking for something very easy to make. Also.... where is the cheapest place to buy a 10lb cylinder.

If anyone has one already built that they want to sell, I would look at that as well.

Thanks,

Jim

Darren's reactor works well. Here is the link on RC.

Be prepared to take about 8 hours to read the whole thing .... although towards the end the posts are starting to be fairly useless like "I'm going to build one too!" so you can probably stop reading at around page 40 or so.

It's a good read though. Lots of info stuff in there.

Hey Tony,

Thx for the link..... I glanced through all the info and I am more confused than I was before.

It might be easier for a non-handyman like me to buy it at J&L...

Thanks again for the link..... I will take some time to read it.

Jim

J&L has a great PM CA reactor but Wendell @ Ocean Aquatics can also build customer units. There is some $$ savings in it as well.
If you don't DIY the unit you may want to consider them.
