aquamaxx cr-1 hob calcium reactor

I have a guy tying to sell the reactor to me for my 90 because ive been looking for one. What he's telling me thst it'll do fine for a heavly stocked lps tank that I want but not an sps. Debating wheather or not I should go for it because id hate to buy jt and waste my money on somethjng that's undersized. Hes selling the complete (noid and every thing else) for $100. Input and thoughts?

 

Oops pretty sure this is in the wrong section. some move to the proper section if its not please.

 

Moved to Filters, pumps, etc....you silly goose.



You're having second thoughts? For me that means I take a pass.

I spend a lot of time looking at reviews. Says it's rated for 100 gallons.

?

 

I have this unit and will be using it on my 55 soon. Honestly, in a LPS system, it should be fine. You could always add a second chamber down the road if need be, but ultimately, with it being undersized, you will just be adding media more often.

I'll say this, I would buy it for $100 for the solinoid , pH controller, CO2 tank etc. alone.

 

What I've always learned is to not always go by what the site says

 

with adding more media wouldnt I have to monitor it more carefully?

I was thinking the same thing for the rest of the equipment so I may do it for just them and maybe upgrade to a bigger reactor later

 

No, I wouldn't think so. You would use more CO2, but having a second reactor will help reduce the pH drop that is commonly felt by using a reactor.

I would start with the one reactor. It should meet all your needs.
