So I run a calcium reactor on my tank for the easy of use. I’m interested in trying the triton system but don’t want to give up the reactor. Can it be done and if so how?

I don't think you can. I know Andy actually ran the Triton system for about a year. It is similar to 2 part dosing. Everything was dosed based on alkalinity consumption...something I think your calcium reactor is doing right now. I was considering it for a while but Andy said it was pretty expensive. For his 400g tank, he was spending north of $100/month just for the supplies. I talked extensively with one off the guys at UniqueCorals about it and he led me to believe that it would be about the same as what I was doing. He said that I would never have to do a water change again so the cost of the supplies would be offset by the savings on salt.

I decided against it, simply because we need to do some water changes in my opinion. I also think Andy had mixed results with his and went back to water changes and two part dosing.
