I got it from Aquarium Specialty. Ive bought a bunch of stuff from them. Scott at AS is a standup guy! There was a delay in delivery to AS and he had Rick at TunzeUSA drop ship it right to my door so I wouldnt have to wait. It was $175 which at first glance is a bit pricey but when you consider that it comes with a pump with a very strong head pressure (a lot of $99 units require a pump that is NOT INCLUDED) plus the fact that the Fill float works on an electric eye/laser beam thingy so it cant get stuck open and then look at the all the other safety features ... audible overfill alarm, 10 minute pump cutoff, seperate overfill float... I think that $175 is reasonable price I got the kalk reactor ($99) from Marine Depot (who also sell the Osmolator but were at the time out of stock) Also if you ever need a replacement pump its only $19

Nice Reefkeeper 2 and Tunze Ozmolator - just got these myself - sweet!

I didn't see where you posted what the cause was of your ph spike. Did something go wrong on the osmolator? I agree with you about the manual, what specifically wasn't unclear though? Is it how the sensors were set up? The first time mine ran longer than it should have, but I just unplugged it until I could think about it for a while (and read the manual more). By the next day, I got brave and plugged it back in without doing anything different and it has worked great since. Just want to make sure I didn't miss something important in that little book.

It was a combination of things. Im using the Tunze calc reactor with the osmo. Because the pump ran so long the first time I plugged it in it pumped way 2 much kalk to the tank. It should work fine now as the osmo tops off about a cup at a time. I just think they shouldve included a warning that the pump may run a long time when you first set it up. Then again if I had thought about what I was doing I shouldve seen the danger. Unfortunately I was up way way late last night and was a bit cloudy headed when I started the project

Thanks! Got em at LFS Ones in the back are actually really nice also They have skirts light blue middles and yellow mouths

Awesome corals man! One thing I have found with hydnophoras is that they do best with very high levels of magnesium. Not sure why but every time i dose magnesium the next day it is out so much more than before. I keep mine around 1600.
