I have a calcium reactor, works great, my levels are steady @ 430+ ppm
calcium and about 3.6 meq . Only problem is my PH is a little lower than i
would rather it be. about 7.8 @ night and 8 during the day. I was thinking
of dripping kalk with a doser or kalk reactor. Is dosing kalk goign to screw
up my alk and calc ? I am using it basically just to buffer the PH a little
and hopefully get 8.2 during the day and 8 @ night.

No, it wont screw up youir alk.CA. In fact, you might find out that dripping
kalk will keep up with your CA and ALK demands alone without the Calcium
reactor. Then you would not have to worry about the pH that is suppressed by
the co2 that your reactor is dumping into your tank.
