Calc reactors..

Hey, I have a koralin c1502 single chamber calc reactor and I wanted to know if there is
A way to make it a dual chamber reactor.

I don't see why not. Its just plumbing at this point. I guess the question is why do you feel you need one? If its to combat pH drop, you can make sure your dripping it in close to the skimmer, or put the effluent in a cup with an air stone.

Tbh I've never used a calc reactor before. I got this one from a friend, and I've been reading that dual chamber is best. I could use some pointers.

My opinion is as with everything in this hobby, just an opinion. Ask on RC which is the best reactor and Geo comes up a lot, single chamber, its what I'm running and have only positive results. Don't chase ph.

Only clear winner on Calc reactor is get a Aquarium Plants regulator. No one will disagree on this point. Others will work, just that much more difficult to dial in and not as reliable.

Yeah I saw that geo is favored. However I got this bad boy for free. I still need to get a regulator and co2 tank.

Seems like it. In fact, my pH in my tank hasn't moved since adding the Geo reactor.

I would still save the money and wait till you see if it's needed for your tank, you might not even have a problem.
