Advice on Calcium Reactor Settings

[CDavmd]

Hi all, I recently added a Geo 612 calcium reactor to my system. I was previously dosing ATI essentials Pro but it was getting to be a hassle as the consumption was increasing significantly.

I pegged my reactor's pH at 6.5 and it essential fluctuates from 6.49 to 6.51 I'm using reborn and about 10% Remag.

The effluent dKH has measured at 31dKH and I'm using the Carbon Doser to bubble CO2 at about 15 bubbles per minute at a pressure of 12. I'm also using the Kamoer dosing pump and I'm running at about 10cc per minute which basically drips at about 1-2 drops per second.
My Alkalinity has been pretty stable with this setting for about a week.

So my question- should I leave it as is? Is 10cc per minute to slow and lead to a clog at some point? I'm not sure if I should change the reactor pH to a higher setting and thereby increase the flow to a slow stream rather than the current drip rate.
Advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are maintaining target levels then I see no reason to fiddle with it. Are you running the peri pump as push or pull? Latter may help to alleviate clogs. 6.5 seems a bit low for reborn. I run mine closer to 7.0. Just keep an eye out for overly melting media.

Thanks! I'm running pull and thus far no issues. The effluent is crystal clear.

The whole beauty of a peristaltic pump is the lack of clogs
