Anyone running a calcium reactor on an AIO? I’ve been dosing my SPS tank for years and am debating a switch to a reactor. Anyone doing this? Any recommendations/suggestions?

Depending in your demand, a Reactor makes things so much easier.
That said, if you are dosing g relatively small amount, a disservice might be easier to deal with.
When I switched to my Geo 818, I was dosing over 900 ml a day. Made my decision easy

I’m dosing 3.5 ml per hour of AquaForest’s Component system. So about 250 mL per day into a 35 gallon system. It just seems that calcium reactor tanks have a little something extra that dosing doesn’t. My tanks been doing really well, and I’ve been happy with growth and color. But if I can cut down on annual costs that’s a huge plus.

I’m no expert on this but at that rate it’s would seem worth while to switch to a calcium reactor just because of time and cost to maintain the levels.
