Calcium reactor in sump

[dawgface]

Thinking about getting a calcium reactor but really have no more room inside cabinet other than the sump. Has anyone every heard of placing a them there or is that just ridiculous?

Not ridiculous at all. That's where mine is going.

Nice, that makes the decision easy..... No more 2 part doseing!!!!!!!!

As long as the pumps are all submersible, of course...

I've seen some with Mag pumps (fine) and some with "regular" external pumps (not so fine). That probably goes without saying, though...

I'm looking at this unit.

Should be ok with the pump on the top.

This pump would be fine submerged too, Eheim...

A lot of people do that. Our British distributor pairs out reactors with ehiem pumps for complete in sump operation.

Edit: Mag pumps will also work
