Yes i believe you can. You just need a Co2 on this and it would be nice for your tank.

i dont know anything about that unit but my answer is no. one reason i say that, is you dont want air mixed with kalk water.air does something to kalk.

Remember that calcium reactor is not the same as a kalk reactor.

A calcium reactor uses a bed of calcium carbonate (aragonite) through which CO2 is bubbled. This creates an acidic environment where Calcium + Carbonate are dissolved (along with some other trace elements) to provide a stable Ca and Alk for an aquarium that is housing stony corals.

A kalk reactor is a container that holds kalk powder in the bottom, and has a mixing mechanism to continually maintain a supersaturated solution of Calcium Hydroxide. Fresh water runs to the reactor and the saturated solution runs out to the tank/sump.

If you start using kalk I would recommend reading this article from Randy Homes-Farley How To Dose Limewater. Basically two methods – combine with your topoff water or reactor. Either is expectable IMO. I used the reactor to keep everything contained under the tank. If I had a separate room and a large top-off reservoir, like 30 – 50 gallon, I would just mix it in with the water and dose like that. I would also recommend that you be able to monitor PH at least when you start dosing making sure you do not spike PH in the tank.

HTH
