Calcium Reactor Replacing Two Part?

[straightrazorguy]

I'm surprised nobody chimed in on the merits of switching from Two Part to Calcium Reactor.

I'm also surprised nobody said anything about my biopellets in conjunction with the Calcium Reactor....

You didn't really ask for the merits, just how best to do it. And if you like biopellets, run them. They have nothing to do with a Ca reactor.

But anyway, the reactor is good, does the same as dosing with less work and math, IMO. Not sure it's going to be "better", just a different approach.

I prefer balling salts over a calcium reactor especially on high-demand tanks. Personally, I think you're downgrading. If I were you, I wouldn't be selling the dosing equipment yet. Everyone's tank is different, so you may not have any trouble, but keep an eye on pH once that calcium reactor is cranked up full tilt. Since biopellets can also drop pH, you may have a two-fold issue. We all know how wild reefs are suffering because of acidification. To counteract this, you may try running a kalkwasser drip too.

Feel better now?
