lol. It's like hootenanny + whatnot?
I guess I've just been considering incorporating a better method of maintaining stable Ca/Alk, and was looking into this balling method w/ dosing pumps(s). It seems like the possibility for ultimate control and stability is pretty great! Having said that...yeah...having all the high tech reactors and cylinders does look hardcore. But more hardcore than a few peristaltic pumps?

And as Tony said, balling didn't exist when I built my reactor, and since I have it, and it works, might as well keep using it.

reactors are for us poor folk who can't afford the fancy pumps.

I guess I should have begun with the fact that I'm manually dosing now--I have no reactors or anything. That is truly the poor man's method
 I'm just curious is all....especially if I'm going to spend a good chunk of change in the future on Ca/Alk maintenance.

Drew, for a while, before I built my reactor, I just topped off all makeup water with kalk. This worked really well for my 75g with a decent Ca demand. Starting out new, I'm not sure which method I'd use, but I have been really happy with this reactor for a few years now.

If there is anything on my tank that is set and forget, its my CO2 reactor. I will admit that it was a little scary hooking it up the first time. Now I am not sure if I could have a reef tank without one.
