Hi ,
Having a sps only dominated reef tank means consumption f a lot of Alk , Ca and Mg.
Planning to move to calcium reactor for better stability and its really hard to overdose once tuned.
Now my pH stays between 8.05 - 8.2 during 24 hrs.
Since using calcium reactor will bring pH down, planning to use either kalkwasser or CO2 absorbent to raise it.
Traditionally, I have used kalkwasser in the past but always worried with kalk overdose and sometimes kalkwasser reducing longevity of ATO pump. Plus need to buy a new kalk reactor which isn't cheap.
Hence looking at CO2 absorbent with input into my Deltec skimmer .
What's your thought for people running calcium reactor?
Regards,
Abhishek
