i was looking at these , the new style has some decent reviews. But i guess they are virtually un-repairable . All the connections are glued even the pump ??

Its on my new 50g w/40g sump sps tank. It comes from Lifereef in the US, but also all my equipment does. I was looking at some of the new ones from Nick on Reef Supply Canada, {my lights and some other equipment are from him}, but as I already had a large order being built by Lifereef, I went with his reactor.

I cant speak on the quality of many of the others. I used a Geo rector many moons ago, one of his first and have seen many made by aquarists like Steve mentioned that were just as good or better than many. Jeff,s products at Lifereef now cost a bit more because of exchange and the such but hard to find better quality, if that what one is looking for.

I also looked at Reef Supplies with a couple models. the have the AquaMaxx at a little cheaper price or the higher end and well built Korallin reactors.

I think JL carries the Precision Marine that Brad mentioned.

I went out on a limb and bought the RLSS CM-6. Been running it now for 4-5 months. The only complaint I have is there were no instructions on set up and I hate thumb screws.

Agreed, that is a great price.

there are way less moving parts to fail. only has 1 pump, and no electronic.

so only one part will fail. LOL
