Calcium reactor circulation pump

Do you run your circulation pump on your CR 24/7 or can you do less?

24/7 - I don't think I've ever seen it discussed, but turning off circulation might lessen the amount of CO2 that get absorbed resulting in changes in pH and Alk/Ca levels.

I run mine 24/7 but will soon be adding a ph meter with probe to shut off CO2 when they are elevated

Kind of thinking the same thing and really didn't want to go out on a limb and experiment so 24/7 it is. Lol

I do have a ph meter and it really doesn't fluctuate a lot. Mostly between day and night is when I will see a swing. I also use an electronic regulator so I have a very steady and reliable bubble count.
