How does this kalkreactor sound?

What do you guys think about this kalkreactor? Seems like a great stirrer-type reactor.

Anyone use this one?

I asked the same question in this forum a while back and nobody answered so I guess they are not very popular. If you decide to get it, I can tell you that Fishbowl Innovations is a good company to deal with, I got my Moon Computer from them and I was very satisfied with their customer service and the product quality.

Also I did some extensive research about Kalk reactors and decided to get the GEO because of its design and good reviews.

Good luck!

I had the previous model of that reactor and it just died on me. I got it used from reefcentral, but it was in perfect shape. It was barely over a year old total.

I e-mailed the guys about it and they gave me a "sorry, you're SOL" answer. In fact, when I asked them about the warranty, they said "Aquariums are tough environments for electronics, an a year warranty is extremely generous." I'd like to think it could stand up to several years of use, easily, but evidently not.

Unfortunately the model I own is completely sealed up and they can't, and won't service it. I've always been a fan of fishbowl-innovations but the way they handled my inquiries has left a sour taste in my mouth.

I'll cut mine apart and let you know what went wrong if you're interested.

Bottom line: I wouldn't buy it.
