So who wants to help me set this thing up? First calcium reactor and not really sure what I'm doing lol. The manual isn't great as far as set up goes, strange pictures, so guess I'm going to go stare at the one at Galactic Coral until I figure it out.

I have an A-2. I think I have the right idea on what to do and I'll try and post stuff as I go. Didn't quite get to it today, but everything is in place I think. I just need to cut some tubes tomorrow and turn it on.

Well I think I have it running right. Also looks like it will BARELY run this tank. Can only turn it up 10% a day, just hit 75% and it was the first night I didn't need to run the doser on top as well. Still huge drop during the day. That means at 90-100% MIGHT break even with daytime consumption. Surprising considering I was under the impression this reactor would handle 400-500 gallons. Guess I have waaaay more coral in this tank than I should. Or I just didn't do it right lol! No clue though.
