Update 8/17

by richfavinger on 08-17-2014 at 04:55 PM
By now I suppose we’ll call this aquascape v2.6?
I decided to swap out the top rock on the left with a large, much flatter rock. I was concerned with coral placements; they really wouldn’t have any place to go with only being 2”-3” from the top… This gives every one a little more room. The rock was drilled and threaded onto the PVC pin thats part of the cave base rock below.

Any reason not to get a Calcium Reactor?

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
