You might check out the Stoneyreef. He's a member here and makes some pretty decent, inexpensive reactors.
He can probably answer your questions about this too... I'm still pretty clueless about reactors, but thought I'd make the suggestion.

MRC and Korilin Reactors are both a good setup. If you are wanting to get one of these two reactors only, I would go with the MRC.
Just my opinion though. I like the Dual chamber reactor. Less CO2 that gets back to the tank, so causes less problems later on, with pH excetra, plus your CO2 will last a lil longer.
