Is that a Kalk reactor or a calcium reactor? with a system your size im not sure that a Kalk reactor would be practical? You may need to get a calcium reactor unless you plan on softies or minimal skelotal corals. but either way research the Kalk reactor before purchasing it.
 
I love my reefkeeper elite. and that will make a calcium reactor much easier if you go that route.
 
Are you using an auto top off? Do you have good flow in the tank? Some Vortechs or tunzes are nice for larger tanks lacking good flow.
 
Yes I am using and auto top off. flow is ok not great yet. going to add some flow items soon.

probably thinking on both.
