i have a 24g current cardiff system. i am looking to hook up a calcium reactor without having a huge reactor with a large co2 tank. what do u guys recommend

I saw a nano reactor on ebay for $49.

I have an Aquatic Systems Design custom Calcium Reactor. I love it!

Wait I was under the impression these reactors required the co2 tanks and regulators, can you run one without them?

If you dont want a co2 tank you can't use a ca reactor, I have nver seen one without a ca reactor. You could get a kalk reactor if you do not want a co2 reactor or dose 2 part. Right now I am using a Geo Kalk reactor on my tank which is a 20L which is sps dominant and it is keeping up with demands although my tank is young and most sps are still smaller frags.

If you want a small reactor you could look into this one, although I have not used it, but I was considering it down the road with a smaller regulator and a pintball tank.

Also, you need the CO2, it lowers the PH in the reactor chamber so the media can be disolved.
