What Calcium Reactor do you use... and would you recommend it!?

[FishhyRen]

With so many to chose from, just wanted to get an idea of what has worked for others...
Bout to buy one for the 125 (or get it for Christmas ) so I wanted to get some ideas...

 

[HotHotHot]

Barr Aquatic CR1200.

I currently have it on my 90. I'll move it to the 225 when it's set up. Should scale to 300 gallons.

Great design and easy to use.

GEO calcium reactor here

 

[FishhyRen]

That Barr Aquatic doesn't look too bad a deal...

 

[Markk96]

I have a Geo.

 

[Treg]

GEO, and yes.

[Ereefic]

Custom CR-1 (MRC)

Yes

 

[fishypets]

Korallin 3002. The only negative thing I can say is the gate valves tend to leak, other than that would buy again.

www.reefmania.net more bells and whistles then you can shake a stick at...and rock solid! high quality pump, effluent flow meter, probe holder in chamber, tons of unions and DUBV's...simply amazing

Took a while to dial mine in to perfection, but now that its running well I wouldn't trade it for the world . . .

P.S. One local reefer that I highly respect swears that Schuran makes the absolutely most efficient reactor you can buy, but I haven't tried it my self. . .

Schuran Reactors

aquatic systems design. it's great, scott's always tweaking his designs making them just a bit easier to maintain.

 

[Freed]

Reeftek single stage reactor here. Would only recommend it if you have an additional peristalic pump to feed the water to it so you have a constant unchanging flow to the reactor. If so, it does a great job.

GEO 8"X18" reactor with a Pan-World pump.

 

[My Evil Z]

I'm using the Barr Aquatics CR1200 and its been working great
and I really like the flow meter on it

You forgot to list the best one.... The schuran Jetstream 1, I love mine.

 

[FishhyRen]

I must say I'm a bit suprised only one dual chamber mentioned so far... I thought for sure people like lunchbucket would opt for the dual chamber for higher final pH...

 

[Orochimaru]

love my reeftek.com

 

[Freed]

What's with the huge media size in the first and last picture?

 

[Lunchbucket]

FishhyRen - i did have a dual chamber. but now that i upgraded to my ReefMania.net 6" reactor i don't have the room for a dual chamber. also duals are more hype then function IMO. you dont' need them but if you cna fit it add one.

i run my reactors pH at 6.5 or so...and yeah running it through a 2nd chamber to bring it up a couple points would be nice..but not needed IMO

Freed - that media is dead coral skeletons. Schuran was the 1st maker of it. i use the "knock off" kind from www.premiumaquatics.com it is supposed to be more pure and it doesnt' give you that dust/mud that ARM does. i think it rocks IMO
