depends on how much you dose and what your current alk/ ph are.

Test your calcium with a reliable test and it will tell you if your Kalc reactor is keeping up.

I adjust the timer for my kalk stirrer to keep the ph range 8.1 to 8,3 , the KH is 3,2 meq/l .

Like LOTUS50GOD said. The only way to find out is to do it and test. If not enough Ca then I'd go with Ca reactor, or you could do the 2-part dosing.
