A calcium reactor and dosing pump can both be connected to a controller and in case of power failure could be programmed to trip an alarm or send an email alert. I would prefer a doser only because increasing or decreasing the calcium would be a breeze...and changing calcium sources would be easier if I wanted to switch to the ‘ Balling Method’ of calcium dosing for example. Could even increase or decrease calcium while on vacation or travelling, there is no need to
physically remove calcium reactor media etcetc...on the other hand having a calcium reactor hanging around the tank also looks neat too.

I've done both reactors and autodosers. For some reason I get better results with a calcium reactor.

I don't think there is a right answer or a wrong answer to this though - anything that gets the job done is the right answer - and then it's just a question of what works better for you. I know plenty of tanks that for them, dosing is the better answer.
