Unless you have a tankful of SPS, I'm not a fan of Ca reactors. When my tank was full of SPS, I was! It's complex, tricky, and easy to nuke a tank.

Thanks bstreep. not sure if I'm going to do the reactor at this point. I need to research some more. I'm looking for less maintenance type items like manual dosing because kids are getting older and doing sports, etc. So, not sure which option to choose yet but I have appreciated all of the advice!

I run a cal reactor and also a kalk reactor on my 180. I was using two part with good results, but prior to my deployment I got the reactors to make it simple for the wife. The only problem that I have had with my setup is that sometimes the AC III does not turn on the CO2, but that is not a big deal as the PH in the reactor just goes up. I get an email and call the wife and she fixes it (unplug and replug). This is a problem with the AC III though, it must be pluged into either port 4 or 8 on the DC8. Well to sum it all up I would not switch back as this is one less thing that I have to remember to do to this tank.
