think its time for a cal reactor

[usmc121581]

Lately I have started to ponder if I should get or start to buy everything for one. However I am confused on all the different types and equipment that goes to one. My tank is havily stocked with LPS and completely covered in coralline algae 3/4 of the walls. I tested my water for cal and alk and alk was 13.1 dkh and calcium was 390 ppm. This is what starting the thought process. What should I look to start buying or getting for one of these? What brands should I look into or not even bother.

Have you considered Kalk in your ATO to supplement? Unless your plan is to go heavy SPS you should not need a calcium reactor

I am using kalk in my top off. But I have also thought about going SPS in the future also. Once I am able to part with some of the LPS's that I have had for ever. That time my never come, and I would never switch over. I just need to raise my cal its only at 390ppm, my alk was high a few days ago but now is at 10 dkh and Mag tested normal with another test kit.(will be getting my own).
