Just started Cal Reactor on my 180

[bobfish]

I have started a calcium reactor on my 180 and i have got it all set up, and checking numbers alk is good at about 7.7 and my mag is high running at 1500, what's bad going to happen from that, or should I take out all the media from my reactor and remove some of the mag meadia from reactor.

Mag at 1500 is not bad..at least not in my experience. That's what I've been keeping my tank at for the past 7 months on my sps dominant tank. I dont use mag media in my reactor but from what I've been reading, the mag media is good at maintaining a level not raising it. What was your mag level before the calcium reactor?

What is your Ca at?

I doubt anything bad will happen with the magnesium elevation. If you put Dolomite in the reactor, I might remove it.
