Not sure I understand the question, but anyway. Yes, you need a source of carbon dioxide to use a calcium reactor.

CO2 reactor is for planted FW tanks, it puts CO2 in the water for better plant growth.

But for a CA reactor to work it requires CO2.

Are you asking if you need a pH controller to run a Calcium Reactor??? That seems to be the usual question...

If so, see THIS THREAD started by Joe Henderson. Lots of information on the setup by both with and without pH controller adjustment and set up for a calcium reactor using aragonite and CO2.
