I guess, long question short.....what maintenance does a Ca reactor require?

Thanx much,
nope, no PH problem on a properly set up reactor. no cleaning just filling once and a while and you could rinse it when you fill it. as for co2, I had a 30lb bottle and I would have to fill it every 6 months. media I would have to fill every 6 months also as I had a large volume on mine. PH was constant at 8.0 so no problem there.
