SRC Member Alvin Tan Posted January 23, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi I got a little mix up between these 2..need some help from experts here. Do they serve the same purpose? Do fellow reefers use either one of them OR both at the same time? Damn noobie liao Thanks in advance hi, hope i can help. CR is calcium reactor, it require carbon dioxide to burn the CR media and it will replenish calcium in to your tank so that you do not have to dose in manually using the powder or liquid form. FR is fluidised reactor, reefers either use it to eliminate phosphate using phosphate remover media or it can be used to run activated carbon to absorb toxic elements that are found in your water. I would say that if your tank is packed with corals, a CR is a good to have equipment. both equipments served different purposes. hope this helps although there are more detailed explainations..
