I am in the market for a new calcium reactor for my 120 Mixed reef Tank! I am slowing adding SPS frags on a weekly basis. I am running an Eshoops Doser w/ salve and adding ALK WHEN NEED TO BE, CAL MAG AND KALK in my Avast Kalk Reactor that is connected to my Apex with two float switches. I am getting ready to do an upgraded to a 150 gallon SC Aquarium in the next few months. I have narrowed my search to the following 4 cal reactors and I would you like hear your thoughts and some input if you run any of these 4 reactors or if you know someone that does. Also, for my regulator, I will be going with the CarbonDoser Electronic CO2 one. Let me know Reefers!

Geo hands down. I've owned the 618 and now the 624. I also owned a reef octopus previously but my preference is Geo for its simplicity.
 
+1 on the Geo. It is top notch craftsmanship and you won't regret the purchase at all.

Alot of people are going to say Geo Reef and they are good, but I bought an aquamaxx for my 200 and it's awesome.
 
No doubt others are nice too.

I just like the Geo, hey are built by 1 guy who is a hobbyist too. I have been in the shop a number of times as he built my CaRx, tank, and my old beckett skimmer, and I'm considering a sump as well. Great built stuff.
