    The new Aquamaxx Star Calcium Reactors are compact and feature-packed with a glossy, clean finish. Aquamaxx appears to have taken note that many reactors out there seem slapped together and can take over any open space fast. Aquamaxx deftly handled this issue by integrating a probe holder with a bubble counter on to a slip-on chassis that mounts on to a suspended SICCE Syncra pump. Quick-disconnects are everywhere on the Star reactors and the reactor cap was designed to be easily removed without full removal of the thumb screws. These are impressive reactors at great price points that should be available in the next couple weeks. Details below.

    I'm going to have to keep an eye out for these! Planning a calcium reactor at some point in my current build.
