Im not running a reactor....looking for some opinions on cal products....appreciate y'alls comments

ccCapt that was thorough man. Felt like I was back in college chemistry. I have the phosban reactor 150....running for years w phosban. Works how it should. I believe you can put various types of media in it....doesn't necessarily need to be phosphate media.

Put in an order and got it 2 days ago - they really are the best out there for plants! Thanks a mil. Cheap shipping too.

Yes sir! Love that thing. Hand feed him all the time. My daughter can make him puff up on command - overall the most entertaining fish I've had in 15 years.

I've got a spiny puffer and a snowflake eel....want to add a starfish. Heard mixed reviews on a variety of species. My 80gal has a ton of rock....

Thanks....how do you typically control ph without the use of a buffer?

I e had the phosban reactor 150 on my 55gal....phosphates been at zero ever since. Worth the money, and not outrageously expensive

Don't ever buy the cheesy painted ones....chemicals can leach into the water. Keep it natural

IMO, those bio wheels are going to be grossly insufficient for 55 gal. I have a 55 and have a flyval fx5, which is a beastly filter. You're going to have serious issues w water quality with those. You won't be able to put much in there (maybe just a damsel) until you step up your filter...

Got lazy and stopped adding a ph buffer over a week ago. At the time, it was at 8.1. I test daily, and without adding the buffer, it jumped and stabilized to 8.3. This is great, but I can't figure out how or why it happened. Thoughts?

Any suggestions y'all?
