Calcium Reactor - Help

[GoVols]

Good to hear!!

Jsker,
Thank you and it was a Reef 2 Reef team effort on this one.

If I struggled with low ph then there's no way I would have gone the cal reactor method only to need to dose kalk and (lol) feel blessed and lucky

Interesting, how high did your PH rise?

Interesting, how high did your PH rise?

A cal reactor lowers your ph because your melting coral skeletons with C02 inside the reactor for your cal, alk some coral skeletal trace elements and the Zeo Mag media releases magnesium.

So it doses my big three and some skeletal trace elements.

Since we brought the cal reactor online the ph is at a tad above 8.0 in the morning (lights out) and at 8.1 in the evening during lights on.

The second stage of the reactor helps to bring the ph up (some) from the first stage but a lot of reefers still need to include kalk but I'm good over here.
