calcium reactor

hello,
I just posted the below thread and one member suggested a calcium reactor. Although I have had my reef for almost 15 years now, I have always dosed calcium out of the bottle a cap at a time.
Can someone share a couple of ideas on how to set one up??
Also check out the previous thread and pics. Thanks,
JIM

Hello Guys
Recently I have jumped on the clam "wagon" and have really enjoyed adding them to my tank. So much so that my 3 clams as of now are about to be joined by 4 more 3-4" on thursday (bought online).
I am worried that I have gone overboard with 7 clams in a 90 gallon but wanted to ask you guys since you guys are on top of things.
Am I going to stress out my reef because of the clams pulling so many nutrients out of the water?
Am I going to need to dose extra calcium because of the increas in clams??
I would appreciate all of your help!!
I will post a website where you can view my tank:
