Anybody have experience with this ebay calcium reactor?

Thinking about buying this, he said he will include a 110V transformer so don't have to worry about it being 220V, or I could just swap out the pump. Anybody have any experience with this brand or dealer?

Don't have experience with it but I would probably advise againts it.
Chinese they can make anything look pretty but their QC(Quality Control) and QA(Quality Assurance) is non existent there is exceptions but it's made to be cheap so corners are always cut.
Plus if you wan't cheap I think the coralife calcium reactors fall under that price range. You could also try getting one second hand off a fellow reefer.

Yeah those children doing the QC's don't really know what to look for.

Well you wont get better from this ebay item, as for coralife ones yes they are flimsy but will still do the job, you wil probably break parts off it and have to glue them back on :P

I don't see how you can possibly come to that conclusion having no experience with the actual product, vendor or know anyone with the same product.

Thanks for the advice but it is duly noted.
