Poly reactor !!

[Saltwaterfish56]

What's the difference between a poly reactor , calcium reactor and a carbon reactor ? I am soo confused ,

A poly reactor can be used for many different medias such as carbon, GFO, bio-pellets, etc, hence the word "poly". A carbon reactor is the same but just advertised to run carbon. A calcium reactor is an entirely different thing. It's a setup basically made to melt calcium carbonate by lowering the pH through the injection of co2 into it. It's used to maintain calcium and alk levels in a reef tank system.

Would the poly rector help with nitrates ? I just set one up but I don't see the little balls jumping around , there moving around at the bottom

What kind of media do you have in it? Depending on what you have in it and how much, you may need a bigger pump for it.

What kind of pump

Are you running biopellets? They will help with nitrate but they have to run for a month to become effective
