He actually convert the marine system to the fresh water. here's is the info about the reactor


'A calcium reactor offers a simple and convenient solution for maintaining calcium and alkalinity in your reef tank. After the initial setup, the calcium reactor requires minimal maintenance. A calcium reactor is almost a necessity for tanks heavily stocked with stony coral where calcium and alkalinity demands are high.

It is also a great addition for those looking to boost the growth of coralline algae on their live rock. Calcium reactors provide a steady supply of calcium by using CO2 to dissolve media in the reactor and, thus, releasing calcium into your water. The effluent released also acts as a buffer to stabilize pH.'


Here is the info about aragonite:

Very Xpensive .....

Well, like what Plik-Plak dug out, the CO2 is not meant for plants - just that when mixed with aragonite in the reactor, causes a chemical reaction. Helps to maintain hard water and higher pH. Predictable results, no need to test water as often for hardness and pH etc.
