Todd,
The problem with just using a Kalk reactor is that if you have good water evep your pH could get high. Oh the other hand, if you use just a Ca reactor your pH could go low. I've found a kalk reactor will not raise Ca and Alk levels in a well stocked tank, a Ca reactor will. If I had a well stocked tank and had a choice of only one it would be a Ca reactor. FWIW, I have always used both.
