ringwurm Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'm looking for a kalk reactor but i'm not sure which one to get. Pump vs Stir bar. Any experiences? $349 - KR1220: 6" tube, 23" high x 6.5" x 6.5", 2.2 gallon capacity (50-200 gallon systems) http://www.barraquatic.com/kalk.php or $240 - Precision Marine Kalkreactor http://oceanencounter.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=OE&Product_Code=PMK1&Category_Code=PMK Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Me personally I would go with the PM Kalkreactor just because I know PM makes good stuff. Also its $100 less. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20cooled Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I just bought an MRC (My Reef Creations) Nilsen Reactor and I'm very happy with it so far. But that said there are a few things I would change, it does not have a quick reef plug like the PM version does. I plan on adding one to it soon. Also the lack of communication from the guy at MRC was really annoying, it took 3 emails and 2 1/2 weeks to get the order. What I do like about the reactor over the PM version is the magnetic stir bar, the pump is just one more thing to break or leak and will need to be cleaned. Here are a couple more to consider. The GEO's are supposed to be good. http://www.geosreef.com/kalk_01.html Don't know anything about these but they are cheap. http://www.reeftek.com/Nilsen_Reactor.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkto Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The taps are a little pricey, though.... http://www.plumbingsupply.com/pipetaps.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ouch yeah the taps are whats going to kill me. I found the plugs from a company online when I was looking for nylon thumbscrews and they gave me 4 as samples, now I just need the taps...
