Chin, I used to add vinegar to my slurry, and I can't say that it gave me any noticeable advantage. I suspect that the acetic acid may have had secondary effects, such as a food source for bacteria, but my kalk experiences were pretty much the same with or with out. I used 5g jugs though, not a reactor. Also, I added enough kalk to the jug to have excess, even with the vinegar, so I'm not sure how much more actually dissolved. I believe Craing Bingman has the calculations somewhere, but it was years ago that I read about it.
