As for the calcium reactor, FWIW, I've had mine off line for about 2yrs now and corals have never been better.
Alk is very constant with kalj dosing I did use it alongside kalk dosing and now do quite well with just fully saturated kalk 24/7 from a still reservoir for a system loaded with growing sps. Once every two weeks or so I tweak it with a tablespoon of baked baking soda to maintain alk at around 9.6 on the 600gallon system. I also add 3/4 tblspn of calcium chloride to balance with the carbonate alk.

Thanks, I'll start with one pump/line and go from there as I watch my levels.
I've never had ALK stability with my Kalk reactor. Granted I have it stirring only 4 times a day for 20 minutes so maybe I have not saturated my top-off water enough. With the CA Reactor online now, my SPS is growing like mad, so I'm seeing positive results myself and my parameters are again stable.
