What's your favorite calcium reactor?

No other experience but the vertex rx-6d and it works great.
I have 3 reactors, but this is what I'm going with for cal+alk :

Hmm. This seems like it would remove the need for two part? But I guess if you have a high consumption tank it doesn’t cover the magnesium.
I have the aquamaxx tech t2 rated for 500g. It's the only one I've used so far but I love it, the pump is really quiet and it has a pre-filter for the water inlet. I do wish it had a second chamber, but it's not an issue as my system pH is good anyway.
They've got that covered too :

If you want a commercial grade in the event that you may end up having a big system, get MRC. If you want just regular hobbyist grade, then I would go with reef octopus and aquatech. When you run calrx, i would recommend a kalk reactor as well to keep the ph up.
+1 on the Geo
I really like my Geo too. The more important part of a CARX is the regulator, solenoid, needle valve and peristaltic pump.
Doug & I bought a quality dual stage regulator, solenoid & valve from a guy the builds them for the planted tank guys. He's on Ebay and you can email him direct at jason.a.calvert@gmail.com
You can get a really good setup from him for $280-350 depending on you specs.
