Picked up Evoreefer11's free sump; going to work on acrylic repair later this week.

Now, I'm contemplating a Ca reactor, Kalk reactor, or just continuing with daily dosing. I need something that, once dialed in, I don'[t need to worry about it; likewise, is RELATIVELY low maintenance. Thoughts, opinions, Bueller?

Definitely get a calcium reactor or a doser. I don't think a kalk reactor gives you what you need when your tank starts thriving.

people swear by the calcium reactors and fosters like iPhones and android lol. They both are great and have pros and cons.

Personally I like the doser. Test so you can see what you need and set it and forget it. refill containers when they're empty and that's it.

Same goes with the calcium reactor. Add media when needed. But with the reactors you need more space for Co2 tank and also need additional PH probes. Higher costs IMO
