Raise your ph point in your apex. If you're @ 6.9-7.0 now. Slowly raise it to 7.0-7.1. For example. Don't touch anything else.hey my parameters are all good but alk always rises do you have any suggestion
Every 1-2 seconds.What about the bubble count ??? my concern is that if the bubble count is not enough then the co2 solenoid valve will not close and it will stay open 24 hours
.I just setup my Ca Rx yesterday. Today I tuned it with the following settings: Display tank Alk 8.46. CO2 is set to go on/off at 7.40/7.30. I have 48bpm in the bubble counter and 100ml per minute output from reactor. The CO2 stays on about 4 minutes, turns off, then back on about 10 min later. I am at 6psi on the low pressure gage.
How often should the CO2 kick on/off? Does my bubble count/output seem ok?
Alright @ToXIc, I went through your build thread (all Fricken 44 pages) looking for some more tips and specs on how you run your kalk stirer. I know that this thread is on tuning calcium reactors but the Kalk stirer seems to run hand and hand.
How much kalk do you put in initially?
How often do you replace kalk?
How many times do you have your kalk stirer come on a day?
Why doesn't it run off your ATO?
What kind of kalk?
It seems info on kalk stirers is a bit lacking all around.
OK, do you choose a reservoir apart from the ATO with a dosing pump? Really I'm looking for tips with a reactor since that's what I have. Things like appropriate amount to go in the reactor really. Or maybe a method to use the reactor with a dosing pump.I can answer any questions you may have about dosing limewater, but I never chose to dose it with a reactor as opposed to from a still reservoir.
The dosing pump should be chosen to have a daily delivery rate that is close to the tank daily evaporation rate, or slightly higher and can be controlled with a timer to dose less.Do you already have a reactor?
Few questions....can your demand be too low for a CaRx? I'm looking at a GEO CR618....is the additional effluent chamber necessary?
Does it also depends on consumption by the corals for how much you need?
at this bubble count , my co2 valve does not switch off as it seems it does not reach the ph levelEvery 1-2 seconds.
