Are you still on RM? Do you have a start pic and a recent pic for comparison?

Yes I am still on RM. The reef is 14' long its very difficult to photo details of my success but I'll dig up some and post. THe real difference is seeing in person, its night and day different.

Tank is looking great!

Looks great. I can’t imagine not running a calcium reactor. But I’ve never done any of the 2 part type dosing. , more than one way to skin a cat. Whatever your methods are the results look great!

I haven't been able to run a CaRx without lower pH, so The Bulk Reef Supply Calcium & Magnesium along with the Sodium Hydroxide, and Reverse Lighting Kalk top off of 5 gallons in a 12 hour period keeps me 8.25 night and 8.3 day.

My reactor doesn’t to any noticeable degree on our lagoon that Kalk does not overcome. Did yours have a second stage. Mine has 2 iactive reactor tubes followed by 2 passive tubes of just media. I don’t see any appreciable ph drop when the rector is on or off.

in January of 2024 I will be adding a CaRx to see if it will work now that the tank is settled in to Reef Moonshiners and Reverse Kalk dosing

I bet you will feel like your alkalinity is on cruise control once you dial it in. ive not tried the newer style reactors but I’ve about pulled the trigger on a dastaco to try out the ACR Several times . I tried one of bill wanns and the acr was not good but that was at least 10 years ago. It seems the tech has figured out the acr nowadays

It is.............It is exactly where " I " want it......Not where other people want theirs. ( LOL )
9.05 - 9.30 Day night 24/7 365 days a year with the help of dosing Sodium Hydroxide.
1 more month and I am switching to Trident controlled dosing on the Sodium Hydroxide.
I've been using Trident controlled dosing on the Calcium and magnesium, and now I am
comfortable with its performance and am going to start dosing the Lye on controlled dosing for my alk.

im old school no reef computers, maybe I will assimilate someday,
I see where that would work.
mine swings about .3 too.

He's about 5" I've had him 5 years or more. I bet you wish you still had him, they fetch a very high price these days

Feel like he was around $500.
