Could anyone out there help me tune my Calrx? I set it up per BRS video but that's just a ballpark. I have tuned it from there set points but Im not sure its right. I have the Vertex reactor and the ph is set to, low value 6.5 and High Value 6.6 in the apex and my carbon doser is set to 1 bubble per second. I have the versa set to 60ml/min.
This seems to be giving me a steady 8dkh on the trident I'm just wondering if its good or way out of whack and can be tuned better. Im new to the calrx world
Also, Im using the Caribsea ARM course in the main chamber and the little reborn in the second chamber.
Update: I just tested the effluent dkh, and I got 16.6dkh, I read this should be around 25dkh. What can I do to get this higher? I am already at 6.5ph, do I slow down the drops?

I haven't tried this method myself, but it might be easier than trying to tune via pHCould anyone out there help me tune my Calrx? I set it up per BRS video but that's just a ballpark.

Calcium Reactor Thoughts and Tuning
XF350 works pretty well on the viewing end by itself. I'm still wishing I had a bit more flow on that end though. My aquascape really blocks the flow that comes from the overflow end. The Icecap 4k doesn't work on 3/4" glass. The XF350 holds tho only barely, when I drain water out for WC's it falls down.

So this is a twist to the build thread lol. I am going to be moving and I would like to sell the tank and build a new one at the new house. so yep you guess it upgrades lol!!
I would like the build where I have the display tank and a frag tank plumbed into one sump so it will probably be a custom tank and not a tank like red sea or water box.
Oh man, how the hell is this going to move out of here lol! I don't even know where to start. I want to keep most of the livestock and sell most of the equipment and keep some. Luckily I never sold my old 75g and my brother said he can hold the fish/coral for me in that until I get up and running again.
I have to figure out pricing as I don't want to sit on this tank I don't have time for that, tanks are so hit or miss though. sometimes they sell and sometimes they don't. Not a lot of people what this size tank either. I guess we shall see.

I know thats what Im worried about getting it back upstairs lol. it cost me 100 bucks to move it down to the basement might be worth having movers do the work again. They move super heavy gun safes etc all the time.
I'm considering maybe going with custom aquariums for the new build.
We would love to support your journey. Lots of options. We are having a blast innovating and supporting the hobby. Thanks for the consideration.
