I did say the build was going to be a slow burn. But, I am on my final month of 0% interest on my credit card that got me though all the home renovations and new appliances… So why not splurge just a little?

I’ve set every thing up on this tank with all the nice things the last tank never had… a sump... huge skimmer… LED… semi-automatic water changing… and now finally, the ultimate reef junky toy… a calcium reactor…

I decided to go with a GEO 612 Calcium Reactor ...

Last week when I received my order containing the pair of Flame Angels from Live Aquaria’s Divers Den I also ordered two new corals. (To round out my order for free shipping of course). It was a simple Scrolling Montipora Indonesia (Red), Bushy Acropora Coral Fiji (Blue-Green).





...

Any reason not to get a Calcium Reactor?
Other then money...

I've always done 2-Part, and have dosing pumps... The tanks demand is light for the moment, because I'm still getting corals. The trace elements and automaton perk my interests. - A Kalk reactor did come to mind for the mid-step. But I read too many tank disasters involving Kalk OD's ... Unless I'm missing something that seems kind of impossible with a calcium reactor.

If I do this, we're not holding any ...

Snagged this mated pair of Flame Angles from Divers Den... they where in the DD QT for 30 Days...
Still need to grab 1-2 more things to round off the order for free shipping... Not sure what else (coral wise)... at the moment...



Tips welcome to keep these guys happy... This will be my first Flame...

Lots of photos, you have been warned…
