Anyone have pics and/or links on how you made your calcium reactor and around what price are they to make?
Thanks.

Here is the reactor i built from DJ88's plans from here on RC. I made mine a bit larger though.http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/112177Reactor4-med.jpg If you would like to look at the thread click on sponsors, then click on Meleves reef and look under DIY reactor. I think i have about 170.00 stuck in it not including the tank , regulator,and controller.

I looked at that one a while back,thought it didn't hold much media so i opted for the one in the pic above. In the pic the reactor has 30lbs of media in it with room for maybe 10lbs more!

I think I will stick the the manual dosing. 1. Cheaper. 2. Easier to understand :D
Thanks anyway.

Here is a picture of my DIY calcium reactor http://www.aquaaddict.org/Tank/Tank2007/Feb-Reactor/Complete.jpg
With the PH Controller, CO2 tank, reactor, media, and regulator I'm into my system $400. It makes dosing a whole lot easier!
