Calcium reactor

[jimlssc24]

I just bought a calcium reactor and ph monitor for my reef tank about 3 months ago and it does not seem to be working. It is a k2r reactor. And my calsium is at 270 witch is not going at all for my clams. I have the ph monitor set to 7.8 in the clloection cup and my bubble counter at 3 seconds a drop. And it has been runing for 30days streaght.
I have a 100gal reef tank please Help
Thanks Jim

use 2- 5 gallon buckets and fill one with saltwater and use a small pump with a adapter to hook it up to your reactor. the output in the other bucket. that way you can get it set up right before you hook it up to the tank. after setting mine up and making the ph go down to far this works better. after it runs for a little wile test the water comming out till you get 3 times the dkh that you want in your tank mine is at 36 dkh so in the tank it stays at 11-12 dkh and calcium is at 450 ph is 8.2-8.3 so I don't mess with it any more. i started with 20 drops a min. comming out and 2 bubbles a sec. co2 play with it till you get it right. you can use buffer and calcium to get the tank where you want it and the reactor will maintain it. that is it. good luck
