Hi guys I got into a weird situation that my tank is kinda imbalance in the kh Ca.
I have 150 gal system that I’m in the beginning of putting sps in. I was using a Ca reactor to try and hold the kh Ca in place. Today was my water testing day and I found out my kh dropped to 6 but Ca still at 500. How should I tune my Ca reactor? Or should I cut the reactor and manual dose so kh to bring kh back up?

It doesn't look like you have too much that consumes cal/alk.

I would shut the calcium reactor down. A routine water change schedule would more than keep up with demand.

Once you get more LPS and SPS, put it back online
 
I see. I was thinking to use it at a really minimum rate. This should be possible to then tune up for me right?

These are the sps I got and they are doing good I guess
