I use the Ca reactor to maintain the high demand levels that my sps tank consumes. Additives are used to raise it to the proper levels. Once achieved, the reactor just keep things constant and in balance.
So realistically, Ca/Alk/Meg concentration in salt is not really that critical as these are constant depleting elements that requires replenishing. It's great to have these levels high in any salt brand, but none will last long in a calcium hogging reef tank like a stoney coral environment.
