I am finishing building my sump for my tank out of a 29 gallon tank from DonW and will be working on my top-off system soon. I currently have a 29 gallon reef display and will be putting in a larger 70 or 90 gallon tank at some point after I get the sump/top-off system done. I "thought" I had everything pretty well figured out, but now I am doubting myself.
I had planned to run a G-2 skimmer in my sump and a kalk reactor with my evap top off system thinking that would be a good simple design. I had not figured on a calcium reactor only because my tank size is not that big and my coral load is not that big either.
I had a conversation with my LFS (who is a very reputable guy) and he said the kalk reactor won't do anything for the alkalinity, only maintaining my calcium. Now I am confused, I thought my kalk would keep both my alk and calcium levels at acceptable levels with only a little dosing here and there.
Can anyone chime in?
