How high is youre effluent dkh crx?

[meromeroreefer]

Hey guys i was wondering how high dkh u r able to get youre effluent out from youre calcium reactor. Ive been having a hard time dialing mine in. Im beggining to think maybe my media is no good no more. I just tested my effluent and its in the 8.5 s and my display is around nine so im not being able to melt good my media. Ibhad been running around 250 mmpm and 6.7 ph . But effluent was even lower i also calibrated my ph probe but now im gonna try lower effluent n much n lower ph in crx around 6.4 i am using arm coarse media. I am going to over hawl this set up and buy everything new media ph probe even co2

Reactor PH 6.8
Tank Alk 12.0
Effluent Alk 16.9
Media: Reborn with 1/2 old stuff and 1/2 new stuff
ZeoMag - Aprox 8% ratio to Reborn media
Red Sea Pro salt

It depends on your tank demands. Reefers with high demands a lot of sps etc will have 25 ,30 dkh. I’m barely at 14.9dkh with 9 frags growing out

You should have around ~25dKH for your effluent.

You should know what ratio your CO2 to your effluent flow rate is ... the "golden" ratio.

You should then adjust your effluent rate up or down to change your tank dKH, always keeping the "golden" ratio.

Mine runs 20+ everytime I check it, which is not vey often.
Running coral bones.
Dont check ph just bubbles and effluent rate.
No probe or controller.
2.5 year old 95% sps system.
Currently:
88bpm
56 mlpm.
Co2 @ 20psi.

Over time the only thing I adjust is co2 and effluent rate in the same ratio.

I just tested mine yesterday. 73 dKh. I was curious what it was running at.

Running TLF ReBorn (the old version).
No pH probe or bubble counter.
Small frag tank that has a few colonies that survived last summers crash. So minimal demand.
Effluent rate is 1.3ml/min
CO2 @ 10 PSI on the regulator
CO2 @ ~6-8 PSI inside the reactor

Currently I have my reactor set to auto vent itself once a week, so I should only have to adjust the flow rate as my needs increase as the strength should stay static.
