Calcium Reactor
Hello,
I am planning on purchasing a calcium reactor very soon. I do not have alot of room under the tank in the sump area. My stand is 60" long but I have a 75gal sump which leaves me with about 8" of space at one end. I have about 30" of heigth to work with and about 24" of length to work with. I am really wanting a good quality reactor that can fit in this space. The reactor needs to be good for about 700 gallons. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

If i remember correctly the guy from Lifereef usually has a long waiting list. That may be the only downside as i heard they did outstanding work. Looking at there products they seem to be well crafted and do very precise work. They may have stepped up production though, when i was researching them was in '03

Jeremy, you might think about contacting Skipper (a moderator on RC). He has had one for a couple of years and might be able to give you some real life thoughts about the constuction and ease of use. His web site is:http://www.reefsite.homestead.com/index.html. He lives in Hattiesburg, so it might be an option to see it in person. They look well designed and durable from the pics.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.
Snoop: The reactor was complete. It already has the guages, solonoids, valves, disconnects, etc. I am not sure if they are cheapies or decent and to be honest, this is the 1st calcium reactor I have ever used. I have not received it yet, probably will receive it Monday. I will add the link from ebay.
Scott: I will visit the website. Sounds like he would be the exact person to talk to about setting it up if I have troubles. Thanks for the info.

Nah not just any welding shop will do it while you wait. I had best luck with the Wesco (might not have name right) in Prichard.

My statement did not come out right. I meant to say that I figured any welding shop should have the co2. I had not even given any consideration or thought that they would not do it on the spot. I will try the shop is Prichard if thats where you have had the best luck.
Thanks again for the help,
Jeremy
