Curious how many people use either Kalk or a CA reactor or both or even neither. Let me know why too. Thanks.

I've always had a Calcium reactor. I don't even know what kalk is, except that it has something to do with pickles

Boy, not many bites...

Im following this one.....looking to get one or the other but dont know the pros and cons of either:arg:

i use a korallin 1502 on my sps tank, to be honest, not sure WHY i would even want a kalk reactor............Im sure theres a reason but i dont know what it is......:funny:

I just dose liquid calcium on my softy tank.....

I do a kalk drip and add sea chem powder Ca to my tank.

I use both. Have a Tunze osmolator for auto topoff that runs through an Aquamedic kalkwasser stirrer and an Aquatic systems design calcium reactor. I find having both really lets me fine tune my pH, calcium, and alkalinty. All stay rock steady.

I have a 120G. I dose 10L kalk nightly and also dose Randy's two part nightly. Probably look into getting a calcium reactor in the next six months.

kalk reactor

 

[tashier]

Is there a difference between a Kalk reactor and Kalk drip?

 

[LiquidLunch]

yes, it's a reactor chamber that doesn't let air into the system. here is my set-up.

 

[tashier]

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Sick of dripping every day, got a calcuim reactor. Never looked back, I don't think I will ever drip kalk again on a large tank. What a pain!

 

[Bemo]

I use a product from Red Sea called calcuim +3. Just add it to my fresh water and it works great. Too hard to get the wifey to approve the money on a calc reactor.

 

[skeety]

I technically should have voted both...but I don't use both on the same tank.

My SPS tank has a CA reactor...my softie/zoa tank I just use a kalk drip.

It depends on what your coral biotype is, I think. What type(s) of corals will you be trying to keep?

Just go and buy it !!

Better to beg for forgiveness then to plead for permission....

I don't use either - just do water changes frequently to keep the ca levels up. Have never had an issue - I use a phosphate reactor though :<
