 I find just Kalk doesent do squat for my Alk.  it keeps my Ca at about 400 but I have an ever ending battle maintaining Alk, this is why I chose to run both and as soon as I get time building a new Ca reactor to replace the one I broke.

 LOL, technically you haven't disagreed with a thing I said.  I said "IF" you find your Ca/Alk level maintain, then you don't need anything more.  But since you don't have levels that maintain, THUS, you do need a reactor.  QED.
It really all depends on your load/draw.
I agree, in my case I couldn't maintain Alk at all with just a kalk reactor.  But there are systems out there where people claim a kalk reactor does just fine.  It's just that you & I are not among that group.
