Calcium Reactors

we are extremely impressed with the 622. i haven't got much to compare it to, as this is the first reactor we have owned, but i have looked closely at some on the web and at some friends. this one has been well designed and is built pretty solid. i considered diy and it would have taken me along time to get it this good.

since i didn't get much feedback on the bb's and j&l couldn't tell me a whole bunch, i phoned Mike at PM in texas. i asked him a s..load of questions about top mount pump vs bottom mount, the difference between PM and Korralin, etc. i also talked to j&l a fair bit about the units they are familiar with to try to get some sort of comparison.

i can't tell ya how it does long term since its only been running on our tank for a couple weeks. have had a bit of trouble tuning it, but pretty much got'er nailed now.

bottom line, it was a pile of dough, maybe there was something available cheaper. i have never seen the canreef reactors but sounds like they were good and less money. if i had to do it again, i might look at the less expensive ones, but i might also accept paying the price and getting a kick ass unit that is built to perform and has already had all the wrinkles ironed out.

have you checked out their website? shane
