Which calcium reactor is best for me?

I recently upgraded to a 120 with a 50 gal refugium. I'm thinking of getting a calcium reactor. Right now I'm using the Kent Tech CB supplements and am getting good growth results. I mainly have SPS and LPS. Most of the reactors I've seen are rated for systems much larger than mine. I was wondering if I could get a little help choosing one.

I run an orginal Knop Calcium Reactor on my 75gallon.

Also, is there anything else that I need to buy besides the reactor, co2 tank, regulator, bubble counter, and media? pH probe or monitor?

There also is no room under the tank, so it would have to be mounted next to the aquarium. Is that possible or does it have to sit in the sump?

Controller is a huge biggie.
Depending on the model, it doesn't have to sit in the sump.
Most models are designed not to be in the sump but rather outside somewhere.
