Nice review.

This is what it would take for me to switch from a calcium reactor to automated 2-part dosing:

A controller/computer that would adjust the dosing rate and also bolus dose Ca Alk or Mg depending upon the Ca Alk and Mg readings input by the user.

For example if you measure your Ca at 350, your Alk at 11 and your Mg at 1100, you input these values into the doser and it would automatically bolus dose some Calcium and Magnesium, then it would increase the infusion rate for Calcium and Magnesium and decrease the infusion rate for Alk. Then next week you repeat your measurement, input the values into the doser computer and it would fine-tune the infusion rates again.

It should not be too hard to do this, it is simple math and it would more or less make the Cal/Alk/Mg levels run on autopilot. If there is any system already set to do this I will buy it.
