    if you dont have a huge demand why not just get a kalkreactor?,i have a fair amount of sps and mine keeps up.it's alot cheaper too.

    The Deltec's are really cool though. I was drooling over a CA reactor and a PS at MACNA.

    Regarding stability, there are now some multi part salt mixes on the market. Some of them have you add the calcium in separately while you do the water change. I was using one of these and I was getting some variance in levels of ca and alk because I wasn't replacing a good ratio of ca/alk when I did water changes and the CA reactor was compensating. Was my own fault but figured I'd pass it along so others could learn from my stupidity.
