According to the chemistry gurus these things cannot possibly work.
They cannot keep your tank's Ca and alk balanced automatically.
If they did every reefkeeper would be using these things.
Just get some quality Ca and alk testkits, some C-Balance or Kents TechCB, and figure out how much you need to dose every day or every other day. Or if you prefer an automated solution just setup a kalkwasser doser/dripper or autotopoff.

You are absolutely correct Mike

If they work as claimed, then I can beam myself to Mars

Too bad. It would save NASA a bunch of money.
