    Kalkwasser itself is a way to supplement calcium and alkalinity when your corals use it up. A reactor is simply a way to add kalkwasser. You don't NEED one, there are many ways of using kalkwasser, or other options for supplementing calcium, alkalinity (and magnesium).

    I believe this article covers all the major supplements and supplement methods if you want more details.
