Ok, got my ca reactor hooked up and running last weekend. I have it set for 35 bpm and about 60ml per min. I have tested and tested. I tested about and hour ago and I tested 14 alk and 400ppm ca. Isn't that a little out of wack? What do I need to do to get it a little closer/or right? Like 11/450ppm?
Any help would be good.
Thanks,
Kyle

ok i will do that, but since i have the reactor i would like the levels to be right you know. or are you saying speeding up the eff. will make the ca raise?

just have to see what happens.......there's nothing wrong Ca at 400, if mine were that I would make no adjustments. I used to run my alk higher then 14, I've since brought it down to around 10

i know this is way off the subject, but is there anyway that my halides could have bleached out my coralline. about 6 months ago i got them and since i have had somewhat of an algae problem and my coraline on the rocks and the walls are somewhat white, back wall is completely bleached.
