It's about time I finally look into getting a calcium reactor for my system. The water volume is ~450 gallons. Does anyone have any recommendations for brands, media, and other tips?
A duel chamber will help raise the pH back up a bit before the effluent goes back into the tank as well as giving a bit more supplimantation form disolving a bit more media.
What size is the actual display or volume that will house corals? This is a case where the bioload is the important factor, not system gallons. A 400 gallon sump that is on a 50 gallon tank does not use up calcium or alkalinity.
Huh?
What don't you like about the MRC reactors? (other than the owner might be creepy)
I've only seen good craftmanship on MRC products.

I have owned a MRC CA2 for a couple of yrs. Never had a problem with it.
That was a long time ago. Maybe quality has declined?
I am a big fan of GEO Calcium Reactors. I had a Korallia, but prefer the GEO.
yeah, Mike had a K2R (is that where you got it btw?) and it was a great little reactor..
kept up with his 92 gallon corner quite well.. although it might be a bit small for a 180 gallon plus other potential tanks with coral? Don't know..
