You, with a calcium reactor ?
Why would you switch back ? If I'd started with a reactor it would have saved me SO much grief

I'm regretting choosing dosing, but was told to start with it and switch later if I need to

More just a logistics thing with equipment placement, and fighting high alk at the moment I have to build a second cabinet to house my reactor out of kid's reach, and had a lazy moment lol. Dosing would fit under my stand. No real good reason other than that.

I had an experience with high co2 consumption with my reactor before I shut it down. Turned out the pressure regulator was leaking CO2. A large 5' bottle only lasted 2 months. LoL. Glad it was in the shop and not my house.
