Calcium Reactor

[jcolon2]

Cthoughts,

I do have central air however; I am still nervous about halides. I want to do them but they worry me. Unfortunately I already have sps so I have to do my best to get this tank in order. I just did a water change because I believe I located my problem with the tank- the calcium level is way too high.

Thank you everyone. You all provided a lot of insight and cleared up much of the confusion I had.

What thay failed to tell you was to slowly remove the bioball . Dont remove all at once you will shock the tank . Ever day you remove some untill thay are all gone . Do not i repet Do not remove all at once.

Batt600,

Thanks. It's ok. I haven't removed them all at once. I did my research on that and have been slowly taking them out so as not to shock the tank and cause a spike. Thanks for looking out though.

Justin, before you go spending money on the cal reactor. I would start by dosing the tank and get the levles correct. The most important this is the mag , because that is the buffer between the cal and the alk. start dosing slow and REMOVE THE BIO BALLS. lol slowly. once the levels are right then you should look into a cal reactor.

I agree wit Ant

Tank doing good . You can come over any time just let me know when

Will do. First I am just working on the levels. I did a ten percent water change. I may do another water change today- I am also removing some more bio-balls.
