    I would not run a CA Reactor without a PH Controller. This way you do not run the chance of melting your media. I have the probe in the reactor to monitor the PH inside of it. Also I just saw a Pinpoint Controller in the clearance section on Premium Aquatics.

    I would never run a Ca reactor without one. You need a way to meter how much CO2 is going in your reactor. The controller never "turns off" the reactor, it just only allows a set value of pH to be in there.

    HUH??? Please explain why because I think it is probably the most important part of the reactor.
