Ive never owned a calcium reactor, I've read too many posts by people struggling to get them "dialed in". 3 part with dosing pumps.

Same as Kien. Auto-dosing Randy Holmes-Farleys 2.5 part via Aquatronica doser
Calcium and Magnesium from ChemMaster Alk via baking soda Its pretty darn easy, I used to have issues with my CO2 needle valve and went through CO2 like crazy with my alk all over the map. This is much easier.

You probably should have included Kalk in your poll...
I run a Ca reactor, but unlike most I have removed all the weaknesses in the system. Flow through the reactor is controlled by peristaltic pump and CO2 is controlled by pH probe and controller. I also use Kalk in a Kalkreactor. It goes in only at night to help stabilize pH, but also contributes to Ca/Alk. Like my Ca Reactor, it is controlled by peristaltic pumps and monitored by pH.
