A geo 612 or 618 should be more than enough for that tank. I have 2 setup now and both are single chambers. The second chamber is supposed to help raise the pH before it gets into the tank. This may also mean that alk/cal drop out also.

No need to setup while cycling.

I think the size has more to do with how often you fill it then it does determining absolute performance of the reactor. Generally speaking, within reason.

get a good co2 solenoid, the carbon doser on brs is the best and a good ph meter and controller. A second chamber is advised but not needed. its meant to burn off the excess co2 and raise the ph on effluent water from the actual reactor before reaching the aquarium so the ph doesnt lower the systems ph

If you already have low ph. You will need second chamber for sure. It does not hurt to have second chamber. It is actually better to have it. Your main chamber ph will be below 6.7, this low ph entering your system sure will drop your ph. I do all I can to get the ph as high as possible before it get pump into my display tank. I run geo 618 dual chamber. My display ph range is 8-8.2

I got the 618 on my 120 and I'm satisfied.
