Dreaming of just running my calcium reactor effluent into my kalk stirrer. I can see possible deal with not being able to get as much kalk "saturated" into saltwater solution.
Possible issue(s) or is this just a bad all around idea?

No, that cannot work.

You cannot any seawater into a limewater (kalkwasser) reactor. It will immediately precipitate magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate.

Sorry...
