    hello guys and girls, i have just purchased a calcium reactor and have a few questions about them.
    i have a 125 full set up reef, and was wondering how often i may have to replenish the a.r.m. and also how often i may have to replace the co2 canister. thanks for all of your help guys

    da_colts, I had the same question when I first got my CA reactor. and like all things Reef the answer is not straight forward. It will depend on the amount of CO2 used to melt the ARM to sustain the correct Ca for your tank.
    In other words everyone is different.

    I will tell you that I'm coming up on the one year mark and I and just now ready to add more ARM. I have replaced my CO2 once.

    If you have any question or anything, let me know, I'm not a pro but I have mine working well
