I’ve long suspected my CA reactor isn’t doing much, tonight I confirmed it.
Tank: 75g shallow SPS frag
Reactor: Bubble Magus 150
Controller: Profilux 4
Feed pump: Versa (35ml/m)
PH: 6.3-6.4 in chamber (yes, you read that right)
Media: ARM Extra Course
Required tank DKH: 7.5
I’ve has this set up for a while and just got a Hanna Alk checker - effluent is 10.4!
I also run Kalkwasser for pH, and recently the Kalkwasser needed changing, my alk started dropping (I use a KH Guardian so could see it happening) I cranked up my CA reactor to compensate but it did sweet FA, so I decided to investigate.
Anyone else have any issues with this media? At that pH in the chamber this stuff should be liquid.
Am I missing something?
