How does a calcium reactor work with triton?

[Jeezy85]

Hi All,

Could someone please explain to me how i would go about using Triton with a calcium reactor...

Do i simply run the calcium reactor which maintains the alk and calcium, while dosing core7 but only the magnesium container along with whatever trace elements are needed according to the ICP test?

Thanks in advance

I dont see the point in dosing Core7 if using a cal reactor. why not use the cal reactor and dose the Reef supplements "other methods" and send in a ICP test every once in a while to see if its working... Actually i dont think it would work because there are trace elements in the cal and alk solutions that unless you dose those you would be deficient in some trace elements.

I'm fairly sure you just sent out tests and supplement what is low with their individual elements stuff. zinc, iron, mag,.....

Hi Jeezy, Have a look at this thread I started a while back. It is a valid method and indeed some of the Triton staff helped the discussion.
