I am new to using a reactor.
I've had it running for a week now and the calcium level is 360 and alk is 12dk. There is only 500 lbs of live rock and no additional corals yet. I tried raising the ph of the effluent by running the effluent through 8' of 1 1/2" pipe full of ARM. that helped raise effluent to 7.3. Before I did that it was 6.7.
Anyway how do I raise calcium level? Does it just take more time, or should I increase effluent rate or CO2 injection?
Thanks,
Andy
