You can make a DIY calcium reactor easily with a canister filter.
You adjust the control valve to a 1drop per second and you got a calcium reactor! |

CO2 will mix with water to form carbonic acid which will dissolve the calcium media inside the canister. This acidic water will circulate within the canister and the dissolved calcium can be dripped into the tank. |
