Which Calcium Reactor to buy?

Looking for assistance or advice. I am currently running a 100 gal prop/frag tank with (some expensive) mixed LPS & SPS. I am tired of manually dosing and want to purchase a Calcium Reactor. I may later move the CR to a 180 gal tank. I have a CO2 tank w/dual regulators. Any suggestions as to which brand, etc. I have looked at the Korallin C-1502. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Paul

ReefTek and Aquatic Systems Design also make good, reasonably-priced reactors.

Aquatic Systems Design (www.aquaticsystemsdesign.com) makes some nice reactors and they have some good ones at www.reeftanksupply.com too that are very reasonably priced.

Many people have stated to me that they wished the had stated out with a Kalk reator/stirrer--first! IMHO, I would look hard at the Aquatic systems ( he does build good stuff) at reactor first. then -If needed- add the reactor..
