Just picked up my ATO & reactor last nite at  Slandis3s' house and wanted to comment on it.

The ato & reactor, are by definition, simple. (because I can understand them). But the Quality looks to be top of the line.

While there I got to look at his set-up. Which was very impressive! And then he showed me the polished alum. fixtures he did. I sure wish I could have gotten in on that deal. WOW

As I stood there and looked at all this I began to realize the potential of this mans creativity. I dont even think he realizes it. His tank display shows it and the stand shows it and the language of this man even shows. I was truly impressed and count it a privilege to have been there.

So having said all that I want to thank you Mike for taking the time to help me understand and for sharing your time with me.

Sincerely Appreciated,  Raymond Norton

I love the custom canner door cutouts and vent.  Must be nice to have access to the waterjet.  :)

I got to see Slandis's tank a couple months back and every aspect of it was awesome. Very well planned out with attention to all the details.

ITS ALIVE, ITS ALIVE!!!  Finally got the maxijet and all the fitting set up. So the reactor is officially online.

I have dripped Kalk before and played around with 2 part, but I'm lazy, so this will be the first time I seriously attempt to keep good alk and cal levels.  I have always had slow but steady growth, but we'll see what happends now

Thanks again for the labor and setting these up Mike.  Although I had been wanting to do it for awhile, again I'm lazy  :laugh:

Thanks

havent gotten around to posting in a while.

this kalk reactor is a monster  ;D   it hasnt even been hooked up yet but it still is a boost to me ego to see it stand next to my tank.
when lonnie pulled it out of his truck my jaw about hit the pavement. i was at work so i had to explain that it was for calcium and not for other things that use tubular piping and hoses. one person even said "its so big"     

-grins-

great job slandis

Just got back into town from a week and half vacation. I can definately tell the difference in my tank when I got back. Thanks again Mike.
