Need help with Param Settings.

Hi,
I am setting up an KNOP Calcium Reactor C. I am looking for some advice getting it dialed in. It has been running or 12 hours now and my readings are currently:
Salt 1.025 / 25
Alk 7.7 DKH
PH 8.4
Calcium 500
Amm, Ite, Ate 0
Advice, suggestions?

>>>Salt 1.025 / 25
Is that supposed to read Salt 1.025 / 35 ?

What's your target? If it were me I would target a lower Calcium level and decrease the bubble rate just a minescule amount.
I would also start adding baking soda to my topoff water until the Alkalinity climbs up above 9.0dKH.
Don't be in a big hurry though, this stuff should be tracked over weeks, not days. It's better to start low and slowly raise it than to start high.

Thanks Bang guy. I need to get my calc and alk in lign, then the reactor will keep them there.. right. I just completed a 10% water change hoping that will help get the levels closer to where they belong. I will take it slow with this and keep an eye on it over a few weeks.
