Toying the idea of setting up a calcium reactor, which I’ve never done. Probably a Geo CR618.

Will a Dos QD work well for a calcium reactor being that they’re labeled as continuous duty? Should I just get a versa or Kamoer continuous duty. I have the Dos QD already. Just looking for suggestions/experiences.
 
I've never run a calcium reactor myself, so I don't have a great answer for you, but the R2R Reef Squad guys or another knowledgeable member might, so I'll give this a bump 🙂

How big is your system, what is your current cal/alk process?
 
I recently moved my 80g into a 300g with a calcium reactor driving it from a DOS QD using the standard DOS programing to dial it in. I was dosing 100ml a day of all for reef in my 80g and still trying to get alk back to stable lol running k2 kalk stirrer at 2ish gals a day and roughly 25ml/min on the calcium reactor
 

IF YOU HAD TO OPERATE EVERYTHING ELSE MANUALLY, WHICH AUTOMATED SYSTEM WOULD YOU KEEP?
