dosing lime water

Kalk will definately help keep Ph stable if dosed correctly, it will also help with any P04 issues there may be, also, it will help maintain Alk and Ca even with a Ca reactor. Kalk is good...
By the way, those reactors are designed to use a Maxi 1200 for shorter mix times in order to prolong impeller life.

Jim, Wow didn't know that, I do have one. As it stands now I've got the 600 mixing 3 times a day for 30 min each time. I'll change it to a 1200 and set it for about 5 min each cycle. Is that good?

5 minutes should be just about right. If you want, remove the lid, fire up the pump and see how long it takes before you see the vortex develop at the surface of the water, when you begin to see it develop, another 3/4 minutes should be all you need. I recommend a settle time of no less than two hours. And make sure youre not dosing while mixing.
