Hello, first time calcium reactor owner. I've read jda's calcium reactor tuning guide and I get the principles, but I'm worried I'm using too much co2? I have a korallin C1502 with a co2 art Regulator and stp peristaltic pump. I'm getting 26dkh effluent with small reborn (all I could find) with a pH at 6.67. I'm not using the solenoid to maintain the pH, but I'm doing almost 2 bubbles per second at 30ml/minute, so I'm worried the co2 is going out the effluent. My pH in the tank is pretty high though with a kalk reactor and airline outside to the skimmer hitting 8.5, and dkh in the tank is steady today (first full day on the reactor) at 8.6.
Should I be worried about the co2 use or is that reasonable? Thanks
