what calcium reactor do you recommend?

jukboxx · Feb 14, 2012

i have a 200 gal mixed reef tank/ frag tank setup (leaning more towards lps) and i am using 2-part right now, things are going well but i dose quite alot daily and in the long run i will have spent more money than it would have cost to just buy a calcium reactor. so with that said i am looking for something a little more economical in the long run. i am needing some help on which ones i should be considering, based on price, reliability, and just personal exp. any help will be greatly appriciated.

They don't come any better.

Tough to beat the aquamaxx as the price is right, they are built well, have all the nice features, and are quiet.

If space is an issue, look at the Korallins. Otherwise, yeah, Geos are great. MRC also has excellent build quality.

Would highly recommend an electronic bubble counter too. Costs a bit more but well worth it.

I had a korralin for years they can be very touchy as far as getting them going when changing out the media. I swithed to a Geo 618 very simple keeps alk an calcium levels up without any issues I have 300 gallons total water volume primarily SPS and chalices.
