What demand should I wait for before setting up my calcium reactor?

[Roggio]

Most of my tank is new because of the hurricanes. I'm currently dosing 40ml of two part daily. A friend of mine suggested I wait until my demand is over 100ml daily.

I just got a new reactor and I'm excited about setting everything up. My system is pretty large (600g) and I have 20-30 sps frags and colonies.

You can do it now. No need to wait imo.

You could set it up with a brand new tank in fact.

Thank you! I should just go with a higher PH for less demand?

Id just test alk. Just like two part Or others.

IMO , ph is too hard to chase , based on time of day etc. unless you have a pinpoint or controller to make it easier. But I'd trust the alk test first.

He means pH in the reactor, I assume.

Yes, higher reactor pH.
