I am kind of fed up with my ca reactor and am pretty sure I can get the money invested in it out of it. Can anyone suggest what the best Ca reactor would be for a 120 gallon tank?

What reactor do you have now, and what do you not like about it?

h&s make nice reactors, easy to maintain.

its huge big in size ans water rate. I got a great deal on it but it's made for a 250 gallon. I cannot control the drip rate for more than a day without it stopping or opening up. I have replaced the ball valve regulating it too. It also no matter how hard I clean the seals will always leak. I have to place a towel under it and replace weekly.....Its a deltec

If you have the space in sump, the H&S reactors are a breeze to setup,adjust, and maintain. They can be run externally as well, but it's not quite as plug and play. For external use, the Geo's are great. I ran one for 3-4 years and rarely touched it aside from refilling the media.

I second the GEO. Easy to setup and rock steady once my drip rate was set. Going on six months now being run by my ACjr and can't be happier.

Thank's I just feel like I can sell this deltec for about 600$ and put $400 into a geo and pocket two, while beign much happier.
