Nano's and calcium reactors?
- Thread starter bluetang1
- Start date
What's the rest of your setup look like? Got a skimmer or other type filter? How much water do you change out and how often?
Only thing I wonder about is if your nano, like many (mine included) is propped up by lotsa water changes. If so, then a CA reactor may not be very efficient (but still effective?). Your water column could lack the long term stability required for "slow" effects like calicification (which ironically is your goal, i'm guessing, by adding a CA reactor).

Here is a link to my tanks info and pics. As far as water changes go. I do a 4-5g water change regularily every 2 weeks.

p.s pay no atention to the pendant on the site. Its on there because i'm trying to sell it for a buddy of mine.

I guess that would depend on how large and how often your water changes were. I am setting up a 15gal. high now that is going to have a sump with a large skimmer, and a custom reactor by PM for nanos. Why? Because this tank is going to house acros fragged from my rarest corals and is also in my office, so it must as automated as possible. I guess lunchbucket's 20gal. over at nano-reef.com pushes the limit about as far as it can go on such a tank.
