My understanding is that triton media is a lot cleaner/more pure than other stuff. I’m sure if someone adds roger to this thread he can provide Tunze media. Knowing tunze, I imagine it’s really good stuff

Tunze media is
99% CaCo3. Works well for me.
Anyone know the lowest ph reborn will handle.
>That lime base in the Tunze media might help in ph.
Do you think one 5 liter bucket would fill up my GEO 612 / stage one?

My reactor holds .4 gallons or 1.85 liters and is kind of small. That being said 3/4's of the bucket is left. I think you would have enough.That lime base in the Tunze media might help in ph.

I just did. Started dosing kalk through my apex dos. Started off at a half of tbs per gallon. Hopefully this will allow me to turn down the reactor but not sure if the dose I am using will be sufficient with a positive effect on tank ph.
If your carx is tuned correctly the ph in your tank wont vary.I just did. Started dosing kalk through my apex dos. Started off at a half of tbs per gallon. Hopefully this will allow me to turn down the reactor but not sure if the dose I am using will be sufficient with a positive effect on tank ph.

This is why I do not use a ph probe or controller.
Works well for me even with the manmade media.
The only way your ph is that low is from co2. It is either comming from your reactor or the inhabitants of your house.Cal reactor is tuned in correctly. Alk/cal are stable.

You can have stable alk and still have excess co2 comming out of your reactor.
Are you using a ph controller in your carx?
Does sound like to much co2 to me.Not to control the reactor just as a fall safe. I use an electronic carbon Doser set at 2 seconds per bubbles and and use a versa dosing pump to push out 90ml per minute. Opening windows doesnt move the PH that much. Normally I leave it but I had two instances where the PH dropped to 7.55 at night and the impact on the tank was noticeable. Its definitly reactor related.

I would slow down the effluent and reduce the co2.
My 120 runs 7.9-8.1 day to night.
I run a 2 stage regulator at 50 bpm. Effuent is 30-35 ml pm. Alk 8-8.2.
Every carx system is different so adjust accordingly.
Anyway thats how I would attack it.
Less co2 and a slower effluent should help and keep alk stable.
Are you running an undersized carx.The 90 ml's are needed to keep the alk stable. If I slow it down the alk drops fast. My tank consumes close to 4 DKH per day.
Are you running an undersized carx.
Just a thought.
You should be able to tune a properly sized carx to keep up with 4 dkh a day.
