CO2 Reactor for my tank??

[PM]

Hey, can someone suggest a CO2 reactor for my tank please? (My tank is 60x30x30cm).

I'd like one that is as small as possible, though reasonably efficient. This decision comes as have recieved my surface skimmer attachment which works great, but would like to try to minimize the equipment in-tank.

I'm thinking of getting a reactor too, but as I'm a tight-ar*e, do these cheapo gadgets work?

I think it was NRY that tried one and from what I remember he hated it since it leaked.

dont bother with them.. lots of wastage and they look terrible in the tank. Cant beat a ceramic disk IMO

No wastage from the in line Aqaumas or Cal Aqua reactors Matt - 100% dissolved, although they are not exactly budget (60 Euros for the medium Aquamas, only 38 Euros for the small one: http://www.aquamas.de/products/Reaktoren/CO2-Aussenreaktor-fuer-Aquarien-bis-etwa-500-Liter.html, check AE fro the Cal Aqua).

...or if you are that way inclined there is always the DIY route.
I built a very efficient internal reactor (Barr venturi style) for a fiver.
An external reactor is not as cheap to DIY but still an option.
