Dosiing to Calcium Reactor

[franklin]

Today I started my Calcium Reactor from dosing system due to tank getting higher demand. Good advise will appreciated greatly.

Current reading

PH=7.8

Calcium = 425

Alkalinity = 7.95

bubble rate 1/sec and drip at 1/sec or slightly higher 

5 X 2 X 2 tank

Do you know how to tune your CR? Start slowly and adjust upward or downward.

Noted thanks. hopefully can control as per instruction manual ha ha ha. later will check again if need to adjust higher or lower rate.

Drip rate really depends on the size of reactor/media + corals you have.

But for a 5ft tank type stocking, its likely you'll go for a higher drip rate (maybe 3-5 drops/sec) or even a flow.

Yes agree, but scared to speed up. Later after work will test and estimate adjustment. Thanks

Not sure why alkalinity drop so much?

It depends on your CR media. May need a lower pH to melt the media.

If the ph reading on the monitor is reading the ph in the CR , then I would say it too high . Usually cr media melt at ph below 7 , needs to be slightly acidic to melt them. 7 is neutral anything that's above that I'm afraid will not melt the media.

CR ph at 6.5 to 6.7
