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.

I had nothing but problems trying to dial in my reactor. Maybe i dont get it. I kept having the alk too high, may be i didnt have a high demand for the CAL

Very possible. I think to run a reactor, the need must be there. Unless you have a heavily stocked tank that sucks Ca, you're probably better with bi-weekly adjustments with a 2 part solution. Or diluted kalk..
