Calcium Reactor For 250 Litre Tank

[stefday]

I am thinking of adding a calcium reactor to my tank following losing some fish and hard corals following a holiday.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones are best? Not sure how these vary in price but not looking at anything over £200.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Before you get one have you been checking your calc levels and do you know how much is used in your tank? Sorry if its a stupid question but I know quite a few people that have bought calc reactors when their tanks dont really use much calc at all and at worst they just need to dose a little every so often.

you might get one second hand for that, but you wont get a full set up for that brand new

reactor would be about 200 new
then CO2 bottle - £50 for a big un
Gages - £50
Ph controller £100

Deltec
Schuran

Both pretty expensive, but very good. Ive used a TMC one aswel, that was a bit fiddely but did the job.
