LOL, I had to laugh at the header myself but YES another thread about a CaRx.
This time not which is the best or the most shiny with all the bling and whole nine yards.
Seeing new threads and ppl asking about the use of them I think it's time to bring it up again.
We all know what a CaRx is and what it does now lets talk about the settings.
What's your bubble rate of Co2 per second or seconds, if you use a Aquariumplants regulator you can dial in order to program that, mine is set to two seconds for each bubble and my after pressure is set to 8psi.
That said where do you have your soluble rate at as some media melts at a PH of 6.8 and others at 6.3
I'm using reborn which melts at the rate at ph 6.5 and have my mag dosed at the same time with the new remag which melts at the same level
Mine is set through the apex as follows.

Fallback ON
If PH-Rx > 6.80 Then ON
If PH-Rx < 6.45 Then OFF

The ALK stays at 8.2 with a affluent of 100ml per min back into the sump.

No secrets to share about your experience with CaRx that maybe future wanna be CaRx users can learn from?

Following! This is the next big upgrade in gear for me. I currently only supplement kalkwasser in my ato. I have a nice dual stage regulator setup and Masterflex pump purchased and ready to go. Just need to buy the reactor
