I'm looking to buy a kalk reactor. I like the price on the Reeftek and would like to hear any feedback from any owners. Thanks.

Kalk Reactor Recommendation's

I use a Kalk reactor made by Presision Marine and this one looks like it works in the same manor. You'll need a dosing pump to deliver the water threw the reactor. I use a LiterMeter from Spectrapure. There's many others on the market too.
My opinion is that you can't go wrong with a kalk reactor. But that's just me.

I disagree. (sorry, tim) 
I found that my rate of discharge (not the amount of water passing through, which is metered, but the amount of kalk powder that is dosed through the system) varied considerably.
I think setlled limewater is much more consistant. (and its just the cost of a bucket) If you are pressed for room, I'd opt for calrx.
If you're determined to try kalkrx, I have a pm version here I am not using - paid $250, you can have for $100 and I'll throw in whatever mrs. wages I have left. I bought a case, prob have 4-6 jars left - would have to look in garage.

btw, welcome to RC and LIRA

Hi Justin,
Your correct, and I was actually thinking of using both the kalk reactor and adding a calicum reactor and have my aqua controller deliver the calcium depending on the PH of the tank.
This hobby can get quite crazy, or maybe it's just me, lol.
I still love my PM Kalk Reactor thou.

Tim, thanks for the response, and Justin thanks for the offer, I think for now I'll just drip. But just for my information do you think a dosing pump like the Sentry pump would have enough pressure to pump through a kalk reactor, remember it a resistance dependent type pump. ie: you can clamp the out put line with the pump running. I have one like this http://www.reefdosingpumps.com/
