two part doser vs calcium reactor

[e46er]

i use a dual doser for ALK and Ca
works like a charm i use 1Gal water containers to store it and have a second batch made up when it gets down to about a quarter full switch it over and in a week for the extra in so it never runs out

once you figure out your tank demand it runs virtually trouble free

i didnt dose any extra alk and it was only down 0.5 KH in 6 weeks
so i up the dosage an extra second a cycle and it seems to be about even

of course the demand changes as the corals get bigger or more get added but small adjustments are easy
I never ran reactors

dosing pump for me too.....the profilux units are incredibly easy to set up and adjust... have read about some peeps dosing phyto through them as well....and the extra added bonus of not having a potentially explosive, pressurized canister in my living room
