Is the current thinking that dosing is the way to go? I am quickly learning that I cannot supply enough A & B to get my Calcium levels up to where I want them to be. Been looking at Calcium Reactors and doing some studying but it seems that dosing would be a simpler setup.

I've run a couple of different DIY Ca reactors and finding they were keeping up no problem on my 145g display that had a fair bit of SPS. Easy to set up, could run for weeks to months without having to touch, gas lasting 6 months or more.

For me, dosers more just the new flavor of the day (and happen to think they're rather elegant) so looking to get an idea not taking a step backward or unnecessarily complicating my layout, if switch.
