Reactor

Samper · 01-08-2005, 12:12 PM

If I was to get a reactor big enough to run about 150 gallons could I run it on the system I described in my other thread with the 3 20 gallons? I'm not completely sure on how they work but if I set the bubble counter very low it'd work wouldn't it? Or do I need to get a smaller one for my nano setup and a large one for the 75 I'm slowly piecing together?

I'm talking about a Ca reactor in case there was a question.

Samper,

I'm not sure which thread you are talking about but to answer your question...

A much larger than needed reactor can be used and tuned for a smaller system just as a much larger skimmer than needed could be used and dialed it. It's all about getting the effluent set to your tanks specific needs.

The reason I ask is cause taxes are coming and I could go ahead and finish piecing the 75 together but just use the 20's until I can set it up.
