Calcium Reactor Set Up

[X-37B]

Thanks for all the great info. I have also been thinking about getting a calcium reactor so this is helpful I tend to like the simplest way to set things up so no PH probe or controller is nice. I currently dose kalkwasser 24/7 and use all for reef. I keep having to use more and more all4reef so its getting more expensive.

One question I have is do you need to dose trace elements when using a calcium reactor?

My system is easy to adjust. I just turn up the effluent flow to keep alk steady.
Trace elements may be needed.
I dose dsr ez-trace in my 150 due to the large acro population.
I have used it for 7+ years now and have never tried any other.
I adjust doesage based on Magnesium and Potassium levels which I can test for at home.
You can dm me if interested after looking at the product. The other 4 elements in the solution are in range when icp is ran by keeping mag and K in range. Has worked well. Currently I dose 2.5ml per gallon into my ato's rodi makeup water.

Yes salifert for K. I keep it at 420 and mag 1300-1400.
Dsr line is through Deltec USA.
I ordered my last 5000ml's from Europe.as they are not always fully stocked.
