    first off sorry if this question has been answered already i couldn't find the same question.::)
    setting up my 33 long system right now. Ive got a question about using a kalk reactor. I am planning on mostly sps.
    If i got a kalk reactor could i just make it inline with an ATO system? would that dose the kalk properly, or add too much at once? anybody have experience with a kalk reactor? positive or negative? im trying to have my system mostly automated and it seems like i could save a little $$ using this instead of a ca reactor.

    I would reccomend a quality topoff that doesn't dump in alot at once, I use an osmolator with my kalkreactor and it works very well. Just remember to check your magnesium.

    okay, do you think that a rkl unit with a digital aquatics float switch and a small pump in the top off water would work well?
