Stan i really kept to just running a cal reactor and kalk reactor. I used esv two part just to get used to the amount of calcium to drip from my reactor and drip kalk only at night to raise ph when lights go out due to ph lowering at night, Both of my reactors were deltec and as for the media,Rowalith C is by far the best media i ever used. When i correctly figured how much to dose it was practical set it end forget it. The media is very pricey which is the down side to it, But it's also loaded with mag so i didn't have to be on top of dose mag all the time, once i got the levels where they where supposed to be, then i turned up the reactors. Always keeping in mind that the two part was what i used to use to balance out my levels if they ever got out of wack, i think i only had to re balance the levels only once due to the calcium build up at the and of the effluent hose back to the tank which reduce the flow. Have to check biweekly and clean excess buildup. As for the esv 2part, i was informed by esv that even thought your levels are off, make sure your mag is good then dose both parts evenly, slowly raising dose which the two part will balance out eventually.
