Hey Guys,

Well, after 15 years of putting all my equipment outside I finally have to bring some equipment back into the house. Behind the filter wall I have a storage room. So popped a few holes in the wall and put the new Calcium Reactor and Dosing / Feeding Fridge inside.

They are sitting on a Bathtub Drain pan. I will be adding a leak detector in the bathtub drain to let me know about oopsies.

Years ago I was invited to see Art Carvahlo's install and I fell in love with his sexy Dastaco Calcium Rx. The Dastaco was just pure sexyiness. But its also got that fragile look to it. And that sexy missing tube off the side is just dying for me to break it off if it was sitting outside with my other equipment.

So now with the protection of equipment inside I got the sexy Dastaco EXT9.









Here is everything up and running. For a ridiculously overpriced sexy reactor they stick a crappy looking label on the monster chamber. I just couldn't stand it, so I upped the ante (just a lil).














As you can see I have to go spend a fortune on more media. Will update when my back is strong enough to haul that crap home.

That a mighty big Calcium reactor! Hopefully lots of big colorful sticks for it to feed. Thanks for sharing

You have more info on that fridge? Is there a reason for having the whole doser in there ? Still functions as a fridge I assume for amino dosing ? PVC, is that just a way to run dosing lines? Any other function ?
