Calcium Reactors help with adding calcium to your aquarium. They work by having CO2 gas react with the media, when that happens the media releases CA (calcium). You will have to change your media every 6 months or so depending on how much its on along with replenishing your CO2 bottle.

I run kalkwasser and a Calcium reactor.

Under those lights I'd imagine you could keep zoanthids, mushrooms, softies and most LPS. I would individually research each piece of coral you would like to add before adding it. It's a hassle and time consuming but it is easier than having it die and you losing money. Our general "You can keep: this, this and this." is usually a good beginning but there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rules.
