    Hello everyone!

    I'm about to purchase a Calcium Reactor and it's down to 3 options:

    Geo 618

    Geo 624

    Vertex RX6 Duo

    ** I'm leaning toward Geo because it's a popular choice among reefers.

    ** I'm leaning toward the Vertex RX6 Duo's extra canisters because it looks like a more advanced design and can potentially keep PH in check.

    I don't have very much SPS yet but that is about to change very soon.

    Did you ever get the Ca reactor? If not, you might want to look into a kalk reactor as another option.

    i would go with the vertex, they seem to make good quality products and have reasonable prices, personally never used the rx6 duo but i do know the zeo reactors are good quality and a lot less expensive than the KZ.

    Geo is much better quality hand down. The Vertex is an imported clone and cheaply made.

    Geo is a far more reliable product I have a Vertex skimmer that has been great but when it comes to a calcium reactor would take Geo over any,I have the 818 on my 180g reef and it's awesome!!!!!!
