You typically fill the Rx with 2/3 sulfur and 1/3 calcium carbonate media.

I don’t think it’s really about targeting a specific pH in the effluent.

I was wondering the other day...is it possible for the sulphur reactor to push calcium levels through the roof? I meassured my calcium last week with salifert test kit and i used the whole syringe that you measure the level by. And the only thing i can think of is the sulphur reactor melts the calcium media? Not sure if theres any truth in my logic?
