Setting up a calcium reactor

[VegasUSP]

I love my Geo's Reef CaRX. It's built like a tank haha

The other reactor inside the sump is a Geo's Reef bio pellet reactor that is currently empty but still online since it also feeds my external skimmer.

Gotcha....I'm watching the video you uploaded on tuning a Rx. Trying to learn as much as I can before I decide if I'm going to buy one.

I'm being honest, you won't regret it. I'm glad I made the switch from dosing 2 part to a CaRX. Plus that video just makes it all that much easier to set up and maintain.

Couple of questions. I got it up and running a few days. Steady slow drip, 3-4 bubbles per second. My issue now is, my ALK went from 9.2 to 8.2 and my calcium is around 520. Its usually 450. How do I get it lowered? Less bubbles and drip?

Did you ever get an answer to this?

Nope, my ALK is way lower then what I guess it should be. My calcium is still 520. MAG is 1264

Do you have an answer?

no I don't. I just set mine up but I think the only number I'm going to concentrate on is Alk. If Ca or Mg are off, then I'll just dose manually to get to the parameters desired.
