I finally filled my CO2 tanks yesterday and started using my new calcium reactor. I could not find any specific information on the starting point bubble count or effluent flow rates. So, I started it at ~30 bubbles per minute and 80ml/minute.
I am using my Apex with an extra pH probe to control the solenoid. I have it set for a pH of 6.5-6.8 per the media's instructions.
I let this run over night and this morning the reactor's pH is 6.99. The tank's pH is 8.03 (which is a little low, but par for the course this time of day).
Should I increase the bubble count or reduce the flow rate?
Alternately, if anyone has instructions or a video for this reactor that would be much appreciated.
