Calcium reactor ph

[Victor Guyton]

I am having issues with bubble keeps going down. So ph is not holding.
I have Korallin reactor turned into calcium reactor. I am currently using ate pump.

Kamoer FX-STP PERISTALTIC CONTINUOUS DUTY DOSING PUMP

I'd would think this would help you out, as one option.

Good luck my friend. I also have a 1502 reactor (not that it matters). I am one of many people who could never get their calcium reactor to work consistently. My bubble rate would drop and drip rate would also drop. In the end I just converted it to a Sulfur reactor. I have seen some new regulators that actually count the bubbles and keep them adjusted, but they are expensive. If I ever start my reactor again it will have to be with a regulator system like that.

looks like to me the OP was using the Tom's lifter as the water feed pump.

Yeah,
If the thread is a about stable bubble count, you need a very good dual stage regulator.

@Victor Guyton
Is your Co2 tank pressure up, It should be at 800 - 900 on a new recharge.

I thought the OP was using the Tom's lifter as the water feed pump

He is but he is having problems with keeping the bubble count correct.

Lol
confused why he loaded the Tom's lifter... :p

Yeah,
I use a dual stage regular, the GLA SS Pro $$$

The carbondoser may be better for the OP

If your bubble rate keeps changing and your not out of Co2, could be your needle valve at the counter is bad or your regulator is bad.

Those GLA look very cool. Is it an SS or did you mean DS regulator?
I thought I remember some company had come out with one that had a digital display and could count it's own bubbles and the adjust it's output to match it to what you set it for. Is that still on the market?

Robby,
It's the Stainless Steel Dual Stage Pro

Bought it in 2017.
Had to wait for GLA to build it, but it was worth it.

Very cool unit. I wish they had a GLA SS model that also included a Clippard mouse solenoid. Now that would be having your cake and eating it to:)

Anyway it sounds like if the op got the Carbondoser and a proper dosing pump instead of the Toms lifter pump, he would have all his problems solved. I know if I set back up mine I will be going in that direction. I will probably use a Versa just to see if Ecotech's dosing pump is all they say it is.

Cheers and Thanks for the Info
