Calcium dissolves (in the case of a calcium reactor) when the PH levels inside the reactor are brought down to a certain point through the use of CO2. This is how I understand it (please someone correct me if I'm wrong!).

The PH inside your aquarium needs to be much different than that inside a reactor, in order for your organisms to survive.
