I would like to hear from experienced members what they believe would be the best Calcium Reactor for a 200 gallon reef tank?

My advice is learn how to use kalkwasser effectively and then get a reactor if you can't keep up with the demands.
I wouldn't try with the kalk slurry stuff that is trending a bit, just kalk in your evaporation replacement.

Calcium reactors are always more trouble than they are worth for me.

I'm using a reef octopus cr140. I added a second chamber but I also run a km-200 kalkwasser reactor. I love running them in tandem as they counter balance the pH effects from each.
I have a 320 gallon display on a 500 total gallon system.
