Looks like Geo is ahead so far! Isn't the Geo basically the same as the Reeftek? What makes the Geo so much better than the Reeftek?


I was thinking about the PM kalkreactor, but I haven't heard much about it. And it costs more than the others, but looks pretty much the same.

It seems to me from when I was shopping for a reactor that it was mostly name recognition.

PM. It's huge and holds a lot of kalk. The impellar on the maxijet 400 is replaceable for $8.

I have had the ReefTek for over a year now with no complaints. I went with it because of the price and they were able to reduce the height by 1” for me to fit under my stand.

I wouldn't buy one they really don't do much instead put the money towards a Calcium Reactor.
