Hello Reefers....
Today I set up the new GEO CR618 CaRx with secondary chamber. I'm running it with the Carbon Doser and Kamoer. I also have the Neptune Apex online for pH control (controversial topic). It wasn't too difficult to setup, because I've been looking at them for years, but the thought of going to a welding shop to fill CO2 cylinders was never appealing to me. However, over the years I've noticed increased stability with every tweak I've implemented with my systems. From doing smaller more frequent water changes, more flow, more light, dosing 150x a day, Kalkwasser, CO2 scrubber, and pulling outside air into the skimmer. Each tweak I made resulted in better growth and it all had to do with stability. This made me really consider Calcium Reactors. At first I thought how much more stable can they really be? I was already dosing 150x a day. After I calculated it...the truth is...they are much more stable. Anybody can be successful dosing 2-part, but It will take a little longer to grow large colonies. In the beginning I always thought that since I wasn't a wholesaler or LFS (who needed to make money for overhead or as a source of income) speed didn't matter to me. I knew the corals would grow, but it would just take a little longer. At this point, I'm not getting any younger and I want to grow Acropora the fastest way possible with the least amount of fluctuations. This is why I brought the reactor online. I will update you guys with the progress. Stay tuned for future updates about the progress of the CaRx and the differences I observe after switching from 2-part. Also, how long it will take to stabilize to where I'll see increased growth.
