Apex,calcium reactor and carbon doser settings

[authentic]

Please advise on your settings if you run these three pieces of equiptment
High ,low on apex
Bubble count on doser
Flow through reactor

I have a few pieces involved in mine.

For the peristaltic feed pump, I have it set using a wave maker setting for on off that I can adjust to alter the alk setting. I normally run 45 seconds on and 90 seconds off. (I can't get my doser low enough without toggling it on and off as well as the mityflex pump i run is a bit too much for the current load of coral). Fallback is off.

The carbon doser is set to my ph probe in the main reactor chamber. If ph is over 6.7 it's on and if it's under 6.5 it's off. Fallback is off.

Recirc is constant on. Fallback on.

Carbon doser is set to a low bubble count to minimize the on off, but that will depend on your particular flow rate. Pressure on the secondary reg is set to 15.

I also have the co2 turn off if the display ph dips below 7.7 (which never happens but if it ever did....)

I know that you did not ask for this, but if you get sick of inconsistent results using a pH probe, then let us know and I can show you how to tune the reactor for 24/7 efficient operation. IMO, pH probe on a CaRx is just another piece of trouble and nearly everybody is better off without it, even if they do not know it yet. If not, then just ignore this.

I'm late to this @jda , but do you mind sharing? Thanks.

yes, what is your answer to this?

About to set up something like this setup so this thread is relevant to my interests.

carry on.
