ReefStock Happening in Denver VERY soon! Check it out: bit.ly/2GRYFbv
AH reefStock, thats why you went for the Woodstock look :D
I just wonder which of the Daltons i should name you :)
man with what media do you use ?
thanks for advanced

Is that a bristleworm on your upper lip ?
Wow, what a great product Jake!
I do hope you enjoy this very much!
Thank you!! 👍🐠
Woot woot welcome back Jake! Thanks for the vid.
Awesome, thanks Jake👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been refreshing everyday for a new video and this didn’t disappoint. Love your videos so much! You managed to get me back into reefing!
That Deltec calcium reactor is AWESOME!! It's already started to promote growth...but it's in the form of a mustache ;) Great vid Jake!
Super nice ca rx, love my deltec skimmer. That ca reactor looks the biz for sure, wow
Nice stash as well!
thanks for the video take care.
Cool video as always
Damn Jake when did you join the local fire department? :D :D :D
Awesome video thanks for sharing, can’t wait to see a long term review
Yeah me too, hope I have lots of good things to say, and great results.
Jake secretly wishes he was a Russian Spy.
I think this is the first video I've seen about a Cal RX that is complete in itself. Finally, something that 'makes sense' for today's market.
I've always been dumbfounded about how companies can market an incomplete product, like selling just the reaction chamber and pump without a C02 cylinder / regulator (& dosing pump) and actually get people to buy it. It's like paying full price but when you get it home, you still have some DIY to do before it can be deployed in your system.
Would love to see a more in-depth vid about how to use the controller and connectivity/functionality options (like, can it connect to an Apex).
Great video. Thanks.
PS: Fire your barber, they dropped something on your hair. :D
Got to love the mostache mate 👍
Sheesh Jake finally there’s nothing else to watch but your videos are awesome thanks hello from Tijuana Mexico
Wonderful video, is a lot to digest in one video, am preparing for a new home build tank and am putting a lot of pieces together for this build and this reactor is one sample of what I need for a big tank ( tank is 300 and sump is around 1400 outside and sumerge)
I really liked the format of this video. “Product spotlight”. Great work Jake, thank you.
I like my aquacare turbo. It runs in a similar way based on co2 saturation with a pH 5-5.5 but has a degassing chamber to bring effluent up to pH 7-7.3
I have a Deltec 600i protein skimmer. His name is Chad. I love him. 😍 Haha, Deltec gets my vote every time - excellent choice! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very interesting video! It's a impressive Kit, and knowing Deltec, i'm sure it's good quality!
Good job Jake, waiting for the next vídeo!
Didn’t have to wait long ;-)
Great video! 👍🏻 how noisy is the trickling of water? Excited to see what the effect on the pH will be!
it's coralfish12g with the mustache!!!!!
Thanks, Jake.
I didn't know Burt Reynolds had a reef tank.
Very nice reactor 👍
Ah yes, I have been waiting for a new video.
love your intro music choice... and the content of cause
Very nice video sir........
Love the idea of draining the effluent into the skimmer or a refugium. I'll try that. Also, what Co2 regulator are you using?
Beast Mode Rawwww🔥🔥🔥
Hey Jake, great video... When are you issuing a review? I'm at the point of needing a CaRx and I'm quite undecided between this or the Dastaco... Would love to hear your views after these couple of months of running it (at least I assume you are still running it :) ). Cheers...
Is the co2 regulator come with it or only the Electronic solenoid?
Do you think this calcium reactor is better or dastaco calcium reactors?
That's one thick bristle worm.
Au top ce rac 😉
Rad new village peeps stash!
Nice video Everything But the price which means it's over the top. I've been dealing with calcium reactors for over 25 years. used all kinds homemade as well. Funny thing about it s they all do the same thing. Love the bells and whistles on that one. Definitely the Rolls Royce of calcium reactors.
You're totally right, a properly functioning reactor will pump in the same calcium and carbonate
This Deltec is looking pretty good! The way you could open the chamber to add media and the quick way to open or close the reactor are very practical additions. However there’s only one mother of all calciumreactors in my opinion and that still is the Dastaco. I’m very curios about the upcoming KH monitor which we are able to connect the Dastaco to a Apex to monitor KH. They will launch it in the near future. Are you reviewing that piece of equipment as well?
who is the dealer in US? is the pump and controller need a converter? Thanks
Where did you buy the regulator please?
Nice stache!
So where can you buy these?
I need one.
Where is the PH probe? How does the controller know the PH within the reactor and when to turn on and off the solenoid?
it doesn't use one - uses CO2-saturated chamber & float switch instead
So running the effluent throught chaeto also lowers it’s ph? I know you’re not a fan of refugiums, but sounds like it would be easy to have a small one and drop the effluent in there, or am I thinking this wrong? 🙄
I'll answer that question no you're not wrong a refugium is perfect counterpart to a calcium reactor. Jake is one of the very few experienced reefers I've seen that doesn't like a nicely set up refugium. With 30 years of experience I would never set up a aquarium without a refugium with Cheeto. It houses so much of the micro-biology in a reef tank.
Sounds like the easiest way to use it then... I do wonder how much a specific size refugium can raise the Ph though... like from 6.5 to 8.0
@@fadetoblack.- I have no issues with a REAL macroalgae scrubber, but in my book that's different from a refugium, although contemporary reefers hardly distinguish the two.
@@ReefBuildersVideo yes I've seen you and Julian go at it in Denver 4 years ago. Very interesting debate. I'm down in the Colorado Springs area let me know when you're in town sometime.
Jake, whats the time frame till we see the calcium reactor sold in U.S.?
It’s available for special order, I think Polyp Lab is the Deltec distributor.
A while ....! You mean an eternity.
NICE TASH! :)
Any mote vids please on this reactor 🙏😃👍
You need some aviators to go with that stash man you'd match👍🏼👍🏼
Did you change Cameras? Quality looks better. Great video.
Always trying to improve the video capture, audio, production, editing etc.
@@ReefBuildersVideo its definitely looking better.
Love me some Jake Adams
LOL. 10:10 he called it a DaStaCo
I sure did, whoops!
can't blame you, basically the same thing at their core
Who selling those CR i wana get one
Would of been nice to talk about the controller a bit more. I understand you can run it safety without a ph probe
Jake, you may reconsider using the crushed coral media. Saturation level of CO2 will quickly turn it into mush, clogging everything up. These kind of reactors (Deltec, DaStaCo) function best with harder media like Triton's.
Great pice of equipment btw!
Thanks for the tip Leo, I'll keep an eye on it. If it does turn to mush I will just buy regular marble stones - the igneous process that transforms limestone into marble inherently purifies it, no need to take out a loan to buy 'certified' pure marble.
@@ReefBuildersVideo Yup, it's like filling your reactor with gold nuggets
Got my like a little over 9 mins in lol
Is that made in USA? Very nice!
Made in Germany, but it does have an over-the-top USA flair
Under/ Over $1000?
Nice stache! Looking a bit retro.
reefbuilders during the day.... coral pornstar at night ;)
thanks for the video!
👊👍
would calcium reactor like this one" be better than using say a Alktronic and dosetronic together" to keep things stable
Yes but you don't necessarily need this one there's a lot of great ones on the market.
The practicality of a given dosing regime really depends on your tank's mineral demands - a nano can get by with simple water changes, dosing for average tank, it's really only when you get up to big volumes that CaRx is most practical. The alkatronic actually has some features to work WITH a CaRx.
Thanks for reply and love your work"
Nice one jake. Have you grown the moustache for a bet hahaha. I think you should shave your head next and go for the full bronson look hahaha
Interesting calcium reactor, definitely looks like a hot rod, however the keep it simple side of me is not a fan of some of it too. 6.15 going into the tank, how come so low? I thought the pH in the reactor was closer to 6.6.
Omg you said the d word that wasn’t deltec doh
Sick reactor, love the vids
2:30?? If I’m a first time person getting a calcium reactor, why wouldn’t I get this one? It’s a no brainer, it is automated. Not going to spend money on another reactor and other unnecessary components just to get a feel for it and upgrade later.
Cool look like a charro 😁
And I thought adding a pressurized co2 system to a planted tank was expensive...
Inserts obligatory comment about that bush!
David saxby is think owns Deltec but i could be wrong. prettiest tank in the world by far. not cheap.
Très beau matériel mais j'ai été très déçu de mon skimmer SC 1456 ...
Jake is looking like my science teacher back in 5th grade 🤔
Moustache aside, the sweater is hella comfy in the deep of winter but man it makes me look 10 years older.
For the love of jebus PLEASE keep the mustach!
Overload on the VOLUME man !!!!
The Mother of All Calcium Reactors ist a Dastaco :))
DaStaCo hasn't updated their design in like 8 years - it's crude, overpriced, and they're still only shipping w/ euro sockets so you have to use a converter, and good luck getting replacement parts. Don't even get me started on their media . . .
@@ReefBuildersVideo I live in Europe and don't need an adapter, it's been running for 8 months without any adjustments. I don't need aplle design in basement but working technick.
You want to try the same prefilter on your calcium reactor? It's a mercedes benz fuel filter, part number H102WK. Heck, heres a link: www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/165432/Fuel-Filter-H102WK/?fbclid=IwAR2PrwDuyN_aA5X-CCFZj52mwlDfIqOETcf1aw8W0ZhKGmQisq1hSWrCqps
For my money, I'd buy an Aquarium Engineering Automatic Calcium Reactor that doesn't use a pH probe, no more replacing those suckers on my next CARX.
Great vid as always Jake!
Oh actually, now having the time to watch it all in detail, Deltec isnt using the pH probe to control the solenoid so big points there, also props for having a "waste gas stem" and coming stock with prefilters. Super stoked to see units coming with their own effluent metering these days so that we can stop buying wicked $$ Masterflex pumps!
Loving the "porn star" stash! Bow chicka wow wow! :-D
The porn stash is VERY CREEPY!!!
Looks diy
Looks great but just buy a dastaco.
WHY? DaStaCo hasn't updated their design in like 8 years - it's crude, overpriced, and they're still only shipping w/ euro sockets so you have to use a converter, and good luck getting replacement parts. Don't even get me started on their media . . .
@@ReefBuildersVideo im from the Netherlands very easy to get my parts and why change a winning team.
I understand the difficulty with parts in America.
But its so easy to youse.
Im yousing triton media awesome stuff.
@@ReefBuildersVideo and yes its a lot of money.
Grow that beard out again!!!!!
What's up with your hair, bro?
this channel is about growing corals, not hair.
@@ReefBuildersVideo
Lol
Mario lol
I love that you don’t use an apex. People with apex systems are like vegans they try to push you to have one once they have it on there systems.
I AM the controller, robots aren't taking MY job
More tanks less face
What a sham! its just a cal reactor and works the same with all!
Genau die selbe scheisse wie die anderen deltec Reaktoren auch. Geblubber ohne Ende, zu wenig innere Strömung und keine Leistung!
Hauptsache er gibt ein Herz xD
@@florianmandavid9873 Wenn er es denn verstanden hat..denke nicht denn ein Herz bekommt ja Ami typisch, jeder.
Ja ich glaub auch nicht
