    Can you post the link?

    Luna, how are you maintaining CA levels?

    I test weekly and dose Kent Marine Liquid Cal accordingly. You can use other cal additives, like the ones that bulk reef sells. Luna

    Ca reactors are the a excellent way to keep water parameters stable in a tank. Dosing spikes things. I would never run a reef tank without it. Just my opnion.

    I think it would be beneficial after a certain tank size...I don't see the point in having a Ca reactor for anything smaller than 55G, just MHO

    Tuzine's Ca Reactor is small enough to give the benefit of a reactor to any system running a sump deep enough for it to sit in and be under water. I would not draw the line at 55g...as a 24g nano with a 10g external sump and stocked with SPS would surely benefit from the stability that a Ca reactor provides....

    I run a CA reactor and will never have a lps stony reef without one. Softies or very few lps, or smaller tank 75 and smaller it would be ok to go without but I love mine.
