The illusion that having a reactor means less work and maintenance and more stability.

I had dosed manually for years and thought that buying a reactor would cost about the same as a dosing setup for 2 part and make life much easier. After researching it I basically came to the conclusion that I stated earlier in the thread:

The 2 reasons I didn't were:
1) I was already very comfortable running a tank with 2 part
2) Even with the purchase of a Litermeter and a second pump it was still much cheaper than a reactor.

The only advantage I can see to running a Ca reactor is that the breakdown of the media will also release a certain amount of strontium and the benefits of strontium can be debated as well.
This isn't an argument....this is a civilized discussion
Pull up some of the old Zeo or DSB vs BB threads if you want an argument
