Tunze Calcium Dispenser VS other ATO set-ups
I am considering buying the Tunze Calcium Dispenser to go along with my Tunze Osmolator. Does anyone have experience with this equipment? Any suggestions on alternative equipment to dose kalk?

The metering pump pumps in fresh RO/DI water to the bottom of the calcium dispenser and the saturated solution leaves through the top. Pretty simple.

Water goes from the top off pump of the osmolator to the calcium containers connection at the bottom. This forces the RO water into the container displacing the Kalk saturated water out the top to your tank
Its really simple and just a small version of a nielson reactor like the others mentioned. I used mine on my 65 and then 90g tanks. When I went with a Geo nielsen reactors that could keep up better with less refills I put it onto my 29. Works good but uses up Kalk faster in the small container vs a larger Nielsen type system. Other than that in the 2 yrs I have been using the osmolators(on all my tanks) and the calcium reactor I have never had a problem with them except for 1 pump that got a little noisy on the oldest unit.
