Calcium reactor question

[Mattl22]

I have very little room left under my tank what is the best smallest ca reactor for a 75 gal tank they all need a co2 tank and regulator can u use a small one?

 

[NYreefNoob]

use a small what, and u can run the cal reactor external

Small tank

small co2 tank I think hes asking... as the regulator should be the same size regardless. Yes, but you'll just need to refill it a lot more often. You can pay $12 or so to refill a 2.5 gallon tank, or $20 for a 20 gallon tank.
You can see it gets to be like 5x more expensive filling a small tank, you don't need to have it under the tank though.

A Ca reactor is something where you need to check it quite frequently. You're going to want a lot of room to work on it. I recommend making it external to the stand if possible. Also for a small tank it is overkill, stick with 2 part.

for a 75g tank unless ur packed with sps not really a need for one, i use kalkwasser with my ato and have no problems maintaining levels

 

[Mattl22]

Ok that's good to hear cause I don't really have the room and sooo far just doing wc keeps my levels stable gonna stick with that and save for an mp 40

If w/c can keep your levels stable, you're very far from needing a reactor. Once you're dosing like 75ml of each of B-ionic, then you may want to start considering a reactor IMO
