Ca reactor or not....help!

[miserkris]

Hello,
I've been dosing tech cb parts a&b manually daily.
Assuming I'm in this hobby for next 5yrs....am I better off buying a used geo calcium reactor?

Will it be easier maintenance than dosing manually.whats less work? Whats more economical in long run?

Pls advice!* Thanks kris

Calcium reactor is worth it IMO. I run my geo 618 with a reef fanatic controller and love it. Been using
It for probably close to two years now. First on my 90 and now on my 220.

I have a Korallin C1505 with CO2 tank and not even ready to start running it but when I am, I hope I can get some help connecting everything up. I got it a couple of years ago when I was setting up to do a full reef tank and then got ill so it's been sitting.

Do you have an extensive population of clams and both LPS anSPS corals? If not, I wouldn't be to concerned about purchasing a calcium reactor. I use Kalkwasser and have had excellent luck over the 15 years I have been using it.

What size tank? What style of coral stock? Running a calcium reactor on an undersized or under stocked tank may not be necessary. Actually it could create unwanted side effects

I just have it. It's not hooked up yet and won't be needed for a while. The tank is 100 gallon bow front.
