Do you really mean a cacium reactor? Nothing too cheap or simple about it, you need CO2 cylinders etc.
Easiest way to increase the calcium levels would be to add Kakwasser. If you have a top off now for your water, you simply add it to there so it drips in slowly.
You can't just add this in any large does as the PH is ~ 12 so needs to be addd slowly

Do you add top off water automatically or by hand?
In my 65g, I have a small gravity fed top off. Simply a rubbermaid sat above my sump, hooked up to a Kent marine float valve. When the float drops, it just drips in my RO + the Kalk. Not sure what reef complete is, but you can probably add it the same way.

hmm the stands and the tank is close to the wall- so only room for the filters.... it is calcium-magnesium-stronium all in one...
