I'm looking for opinions and reviews on the best type of calcium reactors. I only have an 80 gallon tank so it doesn't have to be anything massive. Main points I'm looking for are quality and easy to use.

Thanks

What type of corals do you plan on keeping? SPS? Soft corals? Mix?

I would look at the calcium reactors by www.myreefcreations.com and www.reefmania.net I would also try to find a local club and aks them.

I'll be keeping a mix of SPS, softies and 2 or 3 clams. Maybe get an LPS down the road but haven't really looked into that yet. I already have 3 small frags of montipora that have been growing slowly over the last 2 months.
Minnreefer, have you had experience with the MRC or RM reactors mentioned above?

Thanks

Big E,

I have one of the reef mania recators. Very well constructed. I am running it on a 75 gal mostly sps. Here is a pic:

I have a MyReef reactor. It's very easy to set up and dial in. The construction is very good too.

Thanks for the feedback.
Is there anything you guys dislike about the reactors?

 

[Rick O]

It won't fit in my stand..... but that was my fault for building too large of a sump and having to have the mega size reactor.

I actually have a GEO reactor which works fine. Reactors are spendy to set up but they are worth it in the long run. I would ask to try to figure out what the best CO2 regulator and needle valve is. I have heard good things about both MR and RM reactors.
