Do you guys know any decent studio monitors to use for the reverb in my recordings to have enough clarity?

Good quality studio monitors will allow you to hear 'into' your mixes, i.e. enable you to hear the detail in your recordings, such as reverb and other effects.
In terms of what's best, you should look for a set of monitors that have a flat response - i.e. that don't add extra bass, for example. Flat response speakers enables you to do mixes which not only sound good on your own system, but on other people's, too. Imagine that!
There's stacks of info / waffle online about what are good monitors, but it really depends on your budget. Here's a few to check out - hope this helps:
Low end = Behringer MS40's are very good for the price (very good all round actually!)
Mid price range = KRK Rokit 5's, or 6's
Top end = if you've got the dough, start by looking at Mackie (HR842 MKII) & Adam (A7's) - both brands have plenty of spicey stuff to get stuck into and something will fits your needs.
Most (decent) brands come with charts which show frequency response deviation / colouration. Can you trust those charts? Who really knows? But in the end all that matters is that you take the time to get familiar with the 'sound' of whatever you buy - usually a month or so of listening to your favourite material on them helps.

The problem is probably your room...

I agree, sounds like a lack of sound treatment.

I chose the Rokit 8s over the HR842s. The KRK tweeters are really sweet whereas the Mackie ones hide the air behind the brightness. They sound more impressive but I much preferred the KRKs.

This is confusing me. Come again?

I suppose he means that he can't really hear the kind of reverb he thinks he should hear...so his speakers might be no good...plus a bad room as some of the others said. You know...whack on a reverb plug and you can't truly hear how nice it could be if you are in a junk room with junk speakers.
