I am currently building my fish "area" and I am trying to plan out where the calcium reactor will go. I have a 100g rm sump.
Next to that I have a shelf

Can I place the reactor on the top shelf, 4ft above water level,
2nd shelf, 2ft above water level, or on the ground, 2 foot below
water surface?

I just cant seem to figure out how the plumbing on the reactor works without actually having one (ever) to look at. Where is the in intake best situated?

sorry for the seeming simplest questions, but I have 0 experience with reactors.

Thanks

Micah

YOU CAN PUT IT IN ANY OF THOSE SPACES. THERE IS A PUMP THAT WILL SIT IN THE SUMP THAT WILL FEED THE REACTOR. VERY SIMPLE. YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH TUBBING TO REACH FROM THE SUMP TO THE REACTOR.

Great!! thanks for getting back quickly. Guess head pressure is not an issue since its relatively low volume.

I sent you an email a week or so ago about picking up a reactor, I dont know if you replied or not becuase I later found out my address line was incorrect.(mmcarthur9166@wowway.com).

Anyway, will be talking to you in a couple of weeks about picking one up. Going on a cruize to Cozumel this weekend, hopefully get some diving in!!
