SeaBones Calcium Reactor v2
Balanced replenishment of calcium and alkalinity is among the most important water quality corrections required for a thriving reef aquarium. The SeaBones calcium reactor achieves this by liberating calcium and bicarbonate ions from aragonite media, typically old coral skeletons, using CO2 gas. This process yields equal amounts of calcium and alkalinity added to your aquarium water with no by-product ions, unlike with two-part A/B solutions, which can throw off your system's ionic balance. Once the reactor is installed and set to meet the calcium and alkalinity demands of your aquarium, it is a very hands-off system for continuous addition of these needed elements. Since it operates continuously, calcium and alkalinity are added at exactly the rate they are taken up, resulting in very stable water chemistry parameters. This is essential for the health of sensitive corals like Acropora sp. (SPS, aka Stability Promotes Success). Again, this is unlike two-part solutions, which are
