Favorite Calcium Reactor?

[kahnsell]

What calcium reactors do most people like?? I have a 175 reef tank, and in order to take it to the next level, and to avoid having to add supplements daily, I think I need to get a reactor and a ph Monitor. I know I need to get a circular reactor as opposed to the square ones. I also would like one that fits under my tank in the stand. Any ideas? What companies are the best?
Is $700 a fair estimate of my costs?

Lifereef reactor's are the most well made on the market IMO.
People have had good luck with myreef and geo reactors as well, but for the quality of the work lifereef is tops.
As for cost, it really depends on how big of a reactor you want. The regulator,bubble counter and solenoid will run you around 140 or so and then you will need the CO2 tank. I personally would just go with a single chamber, the second chamber tends to be a waste IMO, I am not sure if lifereef even sells dual chambered reactors.

I use one from AquaTecture in Atlanta, GA. Works really, really well. My other (and a secondary chamber) is a DIY.

The DIY one cost me a total of about $70. total except for the CO2 system.
