    Does anyone have a link for a nano or HOB calcium reactor? Something that can hang inside or on the back of my tank because I have a canister filter!

    A calcium reactor is not a nano piece of equipment IMO. You need a CO2 bottle/regulator and a reactor chamber so that the low ph water has enough time to react with the media, plus in a nano I imagine the low PH effluent would have a bigger impact on the PH of the tank than on a larger system. They are just large pieces of equipment by nature.

    I think if you want to automate maintaining chemistry a set of dosing pumps with 2 part is probably more in line. Check out some of the products here if you are interested.
