I am looking for some input about cal. reactor brands, or types?
Planning on finally buying a cal. reactor this tax time and would love some input! i have a 90 gal. tank with a 60 gal. sump system.
planning on having a neptune controller set up?

neptune controller is one of my fav. things for my tank! I have looked for a new reactor and it looks like the GEO is a good choice. Look at http://www.phishybusiness.com/calcium.php

Have you checked out Coralife's new calcium reactor?

http://www.esuweb.com/cardfile.asp?ItemNumber=33502&IDProductRelationship=384
http://www.marinedepot.com/IMD/calcium_reactors_coralife_ca+.jpg

Includes everything except for the media and CO2 system for under $130 (at marinedepot)! At first, I was skeptical on its performance due to the low price (most reactors sell for $300+). However, its getting good feedback on all forums. The quality and material is similar to Coralife's SuperSkimmers - thiner acrylic hence the lower cost but performs as well as the competition. Its actually made by the same company that makes the SuperSkimmers for Coralife. Both have been sold overseas for a while under the Aqua-Macro brand:

Aqua Macro has been very popular in SE Asia for some time so it was a no-brainer for Coralife to snatch up the exclusive distributorship for the US market. For under $130, its almost as cheap as a DIY reactor. I plan to get one for my frag tank.
