Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - does a calcium or kalk reactor exist that does not need gravity?

Kalk reactor no, because you feed it with RODI water with a metered pump and it needs a little pressure to work correctly. I use a Litermeter 3 for mine.
Calcium yes, most of them if not all. If it can be feed by gravity, then it can be feed with a pump. Actually it works better with a pump. Much easier to control.
Some use a tee and valve off their return. I use this and it works great!
