I'm thinking of buying a calcium reactor for my tank, I have as an option Korallin C1502, for example Pack 2 that sold for $ 695.99 MD.
But I do not know anything about it, not if I need something more than they sold in that package 2. For example do not know if I need to buy solenoid, pH probe and pH meter. This question is because I see that indicated in the description the reactor brings a pH regulator and should be very low dose short. But as I say, I know nothing about it.
I have Apex with 1 pH probe.
Someone who can help me to know that's all I need to put to work the C1502 or if I can recommend any other brand and equally with all that is needed to make it work.

Features:
- Top-loading & access w/ enhanced O-ring seal
- Auto-fill` Integrated Bubble Counter on one water circuit (ie: water never evaporates)
- Detachable Tru-Union couplings w/ O-rings for easy handling, safe shipping, upgrading and leak proof
- Integrated `industrial-grade` Brass Check Valve from German Air Pressure Systems to prevent back flow of pressurized saltwater
- Improved engineering for stronger water circulation and suction
- Secure German airline tubing connectors
- Medical-use Miniature Quick Disconnect Couplings w/ shut-off 3 Inlet & outlet facing same direction
- Special elbow for flexible airline tubing mounting
- Heavy-duty Excelon construction w/ no unsightly and fragile hangover tubing
- Top pump-mounting design
- Self-suction water intake by the silent Eheim pump eliminates the use of a dedicated powerhead, gravity-fed or tee-off methods. It also serves for water recirculation.
- Water circuit interruption in case of CO2 overdose - our exclusive CO2 Safety Feature
- Visual excessive CO2 check w/ ventilation valve for quick release
- Dual effluent outlets to suit different systems
- Aspirating-Venturi technology utilizes only 10 CO2 bubbles / min. and up - most efficient use of both CO2 gas and CaCO3 media
- Functions immediately, no `break-in period` required like other brands
- The most compact and versatile positioning Kalkreaktor in its class - 6.25" small foot print + 15.75" total height - external or in-sump
- Micro-adjustable miniature ball valve to maintain a consistent effluent drip rate
- Slightly larger (German size) airline tubing for more consistent water flow
- Strainer to protect Eheim pump from loose media particles
