Calcium Reactor - which one

[sebastian]

i'm planing to buy a calcium reactor set up for my 125g. /// i'm thinking about KNOP C and Korallin 1502 or GEO 618 /// anyone has a used set up??? which one is better ???? any input very important
p.s. price is important so thats why I'm thinking Knop is my fav.

woow ... no one has any opinion about calcium reactors??? :idea:

i dont think too many people have CA reactors. I bought a used life reef off ebay, ran it for a few weeks and its been turned off for months

Now I think if you have a tank packed with sps, that could be a different story.

I have used the GEO 618 for a few months now & have no complaints.

I chose the Geo612 for my 125. I have it all ready to go, but it's not hooked up to the tank yet. Have fun!

Geo 618 here, love it, no complaints. I did add a second media chamber for more Ca media and Magnesium media to help use up any left over CO2, before going back into the sump. I would recommend using a controller vs. a monitor for controlling the reactor, I don't like using just a bubble count method(it can change over time). Good luck, I'm so happy I don't have to remember to dose two-part every night, one of the best things I have added to the tank.
