I have been using a MRC CR-2 on my tank for the past 6 monts with no complaints. The only thing I would suggest that you make sure you have in whatever unit you choose is the following: A spraybar attachment that will disperse the C02 throughout the entire media thus lowering C02 consumption. I would alsso recommend that there be a probe opening in the reactor so that you can monitor and attach a controller the effluent PH from inside the reactor.

Here is a link to MRC as it was not on your list.

Well your poll asks what I use: Schuran

And your post ask what you prefer. If I had to get another reactor it would be a GEO.

Not that I've used very many (mostly been using Kalk till this point) but I just started using a MoCalc 300 (Austin Oceans) Very simple to use, adjust (has a flow meter build in) , PH probe port and is silent. The size should work even if I go to bigger setup or much larger stock.

Aquarium Essentials from Ocean Aquatics. I'm not well versed on ca reactors but this one gets the job done and its easy to use :biggrin:

I've got a K2R (http://www.coralfarms.com/k2r.htm) that's worked great for me. I added a second chamber from an old fluidized bed filter and it's keeping up with my 220 no problem.
