I've had this reactor set up for over a year. I tried to regulate everything, BPM and DPM, to get the desired DT readings. Trying to do this seem to be an adjustment every other day. So after talking to some other folks that run the same set up I opened the effluent to full blast and kept the calcium reactor ph set to 6.9 and this seems to keep my levels where I need them but now I"m getting co2 backup in the reactor about once a week. Sounds like a simple answer, lower the CO2 and all should be fine. Currently the adjustment on the bottle keeps my C02 at 6.9 ph inside the reactor. So I'm not dumping a lot of C02. Also i've got my apex set up so that the ph inside the reactor does not get below 6.85. Just wondering what I can do to keep the gas from backing up on a regular basis. Most people I talk to set their reactor and leave it for 3-6 months before they make adjustments. I don't think my PH is so low that I'm clogging the line. Just not sure where to start.
