Help with Ca/Alk dosing

[wkada]

Trying to decide how to automate my Ca/Alk dosing. I currently dose b-ionic in divided doses, AM and PM, but am tiring of it. Do not have room for a Ca reactor.

Option A: continue dosing two part using separate peristaltic dosing pumps controlled on timers

Option B: Run all my topoff through a Geo Kalk reactor (would have to buy one). My evap is about 1-2 gallons a day, and I have an autotopoff.com unit connected to an aqualifter pump.

I'm leaning toward option B. Does anyone know if the Aqualifter is OK to use with the Kalk reactor. Trying not to fry my tank!

hey will how many gallons is your complete system?
have you ever considered driping kalk insted of any type of reactor?
ive had a ca+ and didnt like it very much.so now i just drip kalk by brightwell useing a aquadrip from kent and my 120g system does perfect.
good growth (sps,acans,chalices,and zoas)and coraline on my rock and back glass.

I also use a kalk drip (airline tube airline ball, valve, and milk jug) and love it. Just start off with the lowest recommended level to see what it does.

Thought about dripping to start. I thought it would be easier to use my existing setup with the reactor so I would not have to mix up Kalk so often, just add to reactor every month or so. Clone, my system volume is about 80g.

now let me talk you into just dripping insted of spending so much money on some silly reactor,unless you really want to....
