I am using Randys Two Part: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php
Along with monthly water changes the two part has worked great for me.

Apparently it is almost ready for release. If you really need the shimmer you could always add on of these:

This is what I use:

I squirt 50ML of Alk and CA when I get home from work. It only takes 20 seconds and is very simple. I may end up adding a dosing pump as the corals grow out. For now, my CA and ALK demand is not very high.
My old tank have an insatiable demand for CA and Alk. I was using a CA reactor, Deltec Kalk Stirrer, and two part just to keep up.

Thanks Sonny,
On my next tank I am going to have a minimum number of large coral colonies for a more open look with maybe 30 pounds of LR in a 120. I am hoping to get rid of the CR and dripping. I travel a lot so I will need the 2 part dosing pumps.
BTW, there is no doubt in my mind that your last tank had huge calcium and alk need. A beautiful tank. Of course your current is looking good too!

Beautiful tank Sonny. I think its time for some more Tank shots
Do you find your SPS are happy using 2 part dosing? Do you think there is any trace elements or anything else the 2part misses that a Calc Reactor would provide? Are you going to stick with the reactor.
Thanks

Hey Sunny Just want to say very nice build. I am also looking to have a tank built around 90g to 100g . I was also wondering what your tank price was. If you could pm that would be great. Trying to put together a price list of everything I am going to need. I also will be using t-5 lighting that I already have from my old setup.

Thank you.
My tank is doing great with the two part solution. I do monthly water changes to replace lost vitamins, minerals and trace elements. That is all my tank needs. All the extra additives you see out there are really a waste of money. The only stuff I do like to use as a supplement is the Prodibio line. I add one vial of Reef boaster once a month but haven't added it lately because my skimmer has been down. My skimmer has been down for over a month now. Hopefully when the new part gets here the skimmer will be back in action.
I try to add as little as possible to the tank. I monitor the tank but rarely place my hands in the tank. I have found that if I leave my tanks alone they tend to do better.
Nature has a way of working everything out.
