Calcium Reactor - Calcium

[scubaX]

Is it possible to raise calcium level using the calcium reactor without raising alk ?

my current parameters as follow

Calcium : 350
Alk : 7.2
Mag : 1334

I would just add some calcium supplement to boost it up and the same if you need to boost any of the other levels.

If the reactor isn’t maintaing ‘balanced levels’ maybe look at the media your using, personally I use rowalith W (chunky version)

You alkalinity is at the lower end of ok so a bit higher won’t hurt anyway as you don’t have much ‘wiggle room’ if it drops much more

As suggested, you can supplement manually and adjust accordingly until you reach desired level

What is the salinity of your tank? That will also impact the ability for your water to maintain higher calcium levels.

Use 2 part to dose it up to your desired levels... then use the CaRx to maintain those levels.

Dissolving carx media will provide both Ca and Alk so the answer to your first question is no.

Like others have said, you can use calcium chloride to boost Ca if you choose.
