Looking for a cheap calcium reactor

[Vtec-acura]

Above says it all any one got one for cheap ?

 

[Vtec-acura]

What happened to the pickling lime/Kalkwasser dosing you were doing?

 

[Vtec-acura]

Hahaha well I want my stuff to grow better I am still doing the Pickering lime but looking into doing more lol just keeping my options open guessing I won't be able to find anything I can afford

I think this one is pretty cheap, even comes with CO2 tank

Completely agree, reactor is not a cheap investment but well worth it

I didn't pay enough for one of mine and have nothing but problems. Save up get something decent that doesn't have issues or need modifications just to get it to work.

I think when you consider the price of these things new, you're going to be hard pressed to get something decent for rock bottom prices. ReefCheif looked like he had some to sell from Premier Fish and Reef, might be worth contacting him. http://www.marinecolorado.org/forums/showthread.php?29194-Well-Hello-Again

+1. I gave people incredibly good deals when I parted mine out and I still charged $150 for the reactor itself and another $200 for the regulator (granted the regulator was the best on the market) and tank used. That didn't include a pH controller. You need to be able to set aside $200-$300 for a decent quality system or you may just be asking for a tank crash or a reactor that doesn't work worth a damn.

That $125 for the Aqua medic reactor is the best deal you're going to get. New calcium reactors are $300-$600 just for the chamber, $125-350 for a regulator, $40 for a ph probe, $50-200 for a co2 tank, $40 for a box of media. Calcium reactors are not cheap but totally worth it!


If you can find complete CA reactor setups for under $200 you should jump on them.
