      Sorry I shared a link with you of some guy that has frag tanks outside his home only uses sunlight. I saw this and figured you might want to take a peak. ruclips.net/video/f-gEH56nQrQ/видео.html

    You get what you pay for! Just hooked up my Twin Tech 1500 and it is quiet. All that you said, I can totally agree with and when your done with initial setup you realize how easy it is. It was fortunate enough to witness the degassing process of this reactor. Mind blowing to see this thing that automated. Lowest setting at 3 and stable 9.24-9.26.

  • @battyjoe
    @battyjoe 5 лет назад +2

    I have a Twintech 1500 and it is the first CaRx I have had. It was easy to set up and as Jake says it works straight out of the box. I am actually using it alongside Triton dosing, to reduce the amount of Triton juice Im using. So far it is working very well.

    Outstanding review and overview. I want one even more now!
    I'd like to know a bit more about the type of regulator you used. Psi, bubble count and solenoid connection.

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад +1

      just a cheap-o mini regulator, for this type of reactor it's enough since the Solenoid is precisely controlled by the float switch

  • @KeelOvisioN
    @KeelOvisioN 5 лет назад

    So I was wondering besides the lcd screen on Deltec's twin tech which one stand out between it and the Dastaco auto calcium reactors?

  • @longjohndingel
    @longjohndingel 5 лет назад +1

    The mother of commercial calcium reactors was the knop model c. And I was the one who bring them on the us market 1996! This Modell, OK without all that technic stuff, I have had for 6 month. You need 2 persons to open that mess because of a Vakuum. And the important point.. The flow inside is so minor that the output of CA and kh is much less than a schuran Jetstream.. For example will produce.

  • @guccimane1465
    @guccimane1465 3 года назад

    Awesome video. I'm looking into buy one. Do you still recommended this brand. I know you said if it's it's your first one to maybe buy a different brand because I've never owned before?

  • @stadt-mensch6302
    @stadt-mensch6302 3 года назад

    Good video. How loud is the TwinTec? Can you operate it below the tank in the living room or will I be single again, after installing it?

  • @xgd7378
    @xgd7378 4 года назад

    What if you have a power outage ? will the pump prime back by it self ?

  • @andycx2
    @andycx2 4 года назад

    Could you not add a second chamber to increase the ph of the output ?

  • @EricSoLVN
    @EricSoLVN 5 лет назад

    Awesome reactor! I love the prefilter idea, what are you using for that? Also, what alk is it outputting in the effluent?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад

      To be honest, I haven't done my due diligence with this reactor to test the effluent alk or pH, since it's kept up with the demand, but I will get there out of curiosity.

  • @andrewsdrmike

    Hi jake whe you dose manually do you dose alk and calc in equal parts or dose different amounts according to your tank... also what brand solution do you use for your two part thanks

  • @chromemosquito
    @chromemosquito 5 лет назад

    nice and it equals a good calc reactor in pricing. no brainer this is the one

  • @DiepBlueC
    @DiepBlueC 5 лет назад

    I use that prefilter and post filter and I have to replace the post-filter once every 6 months or so as it gets scummy, they are really cheap though.

    Can you do a video on the controller alone
    I own one of this calcium reactor but I don’t really know how the controller works
    Thx

    • @Elev8minh
      @Elev8minh 2 года назад

      @ovidiumirauta do you still have this reactor? Your thoughts? Is it worth purchasing?

  • @barryhutchinson3977
    @barryhutchinson3977 5 лет назад

    Hello Jake. Just saying thanks for the videos you produce, enjoy them. Just one down side. You cause me to go spending more and more money on corals, and they aren't cheap this side of the World. Should be saving my money for the hospital bills that are sure to come. You know how it is with those over 65 :-)

  • @ReefAndReptileAutomation
    @ReefAndReptileAutomation 4 года назад +1

    How does it do with Display pH? You used to run Kalk? Are you still using it?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  4 года назад

      These are very efficient at using CO2 and so don’t impact the 500 gallon volume like a typical reactor, and yes still dose kalk to keep pH high

  • @mattreefer2718
    @mattreefer2718 4 года назад

    Looking into calcium reactors for my 450 gallon. Any further comments or reviews on this? Is it worth the premium cost over a “standard” assemble yourself calcium reactor like a georeef?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  4 года назад

      I love this thing so much, looking at getting another one for the next build

    • @mattreefer2718
      @mattreefer2718 4 года назад +1

      What CO2 regulator do you use for this? I can’t find one without a selinoid. What one did you use. Want to buy this reactor but want all the parts lined up first.

  • @dunmadun351
    @dunmadun351 5 лет назад +1

    Serious question somewhat related to this topic. How are crushed corals actually harvested? Is it sustainable and responsible? Anyone have any insight on this?

    • @freemansaquatics5326
      @freemansaquatics5326 5 лет назад

      Like most things we consume i myself would bet that it has its own impact.

    • @SteHughes90
      @SteHughes90 5 лет назад

      They can be washed up in beach gravel, they might be removed from sand which is harvested for building or other industries, the might be dead corals from imports that didn't make it or collectors which harvested damaged/unsellable coral.

    • @lamont22222
      @lamont22222 5 лет назад

      They are collected from all the tank crashes.

    • @danmatherlee136
      @danmatherlee136 5 лет назад

      From what I have seen diving and considering the few people actually in the hobbie I doubt we could ever make a difference in the supply. Crushed coral is naturally occurring in the caribbean, it's just large sand or small rocks. There are spots I dive in the florida keys that have vast amounts of watercress alga leaves that would work better in calcium reactors than coral and a lot more sustainable than slow growing coral.

    • @ReefBuildersVideo

      just a random basket, I always pick up different sized ones at department stores

  • @ReefAndReptileAutomation
    @ReefAndReptileAutomation 4 года назад

    Do you have to use the "feed pump" or can you use off a manifold?

  • @26Tackle.reviews
    @26Tackle.reviews 5 лет назад

    A toy on my list for sure! would it be better to run kalkwasser also for the ph

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад

      using calcium and kalk reactors gives you the best of both worlds

  • @neilwebb4520

    Is that a kessil you are using to illuminate the calcium reactor?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад +1

      they are Fiilex studio lights with the same platform as the old Kessil A360 lights

  • @Mike__B
    @Mike__B 5 лет назад

    Release date on this? Looking around I see preorder price in Euros, 1300 (yikes!) however feed pump, solenoid to control it so you don't need an electronic CO2 switch, might make the price a bit more reasonable when you add that stuff in with a regular CaRx. Thanks for sharing. And I'm sorry but over your right shoulder I just couldn't stop looking at that tank with the beam of sunlight zapping in there, now THAT is the way I want to see corals! I get something similar through a door's window but only for like 30 minutes in the morning when the sun is low at the right times of the year.

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад

      I don't know the exact release date but should be confirmed by the time MACNA rolls around. On another note, the solar beam SEEMS like a good idea but in my case its a bigger area and for longer so I've had to cover up the windows to reduce algae and moderate bleaching.

    Great vid! So one of my lads has always sworn by dastaco and I didn’t know why until now! It’s an automatic! Would you say this one and the dastaco are comparable?

    • @ReefBuildersVideo
      @ReefBuildersVideo  5 лет назад +2

      This is a brand new design and DaStaCo hasn't changed in about ten years, they are in completely different leagues

  • @mikeyfish5655
    @mikeyfish5655 4 года назад

    Question, I have been a successful reefer for years but one issue I always get to is the demand of minerals. With a calcium reactor, how would you keep the tanks pH at an ideal range if the calcium reactor is constantly dripping low pH?

    Must be a very old reactor to be the mother of all calcium reactors. My guess great great great grandmother.
