Calcium Reactor recommendations???

kentlighting · 10/05/2009, 02:04 AM

So im starting to look into a calcium reactor for my 60 gallon reef im in the process of building. I was wondering what all of you would suggest..... My goal is to have most of the tank automated, when completed it will have a APEX controller. I figure this would be one less daily chore of dosing calcium...

Geo reactor with a Harris co2 regulator ,have used them for some time money well spent.

GEO reactors are very good quality. I have a Life Reef reactor on my system, and I can recommend it as well. LifeReef's customer service is amazing!

You'll do well with either choice.

Prepare for a whole TON of people posting "GEO", and for a good reason

I was on the Geo Website and their smallest unit was rated for 300 gallons, wouldnt that be a bit overkill?

Yep. Another GEO vote here. Great unit, well made and easy customer service if a problem ever arises. Have a whole bunch of GEO items on my system.

The 6x12 is rated UP TO a 300g tank. I ran that model on my 90 with no problems at all. I wouldn't go to a model higher than that unless you plan a larger upgrade in the future
