The higher the ph the better the corals will grow
More corals grow more alk and calcium is needed
When the cdx is expired the ph goes down corals don't consume as much alk rises.
Besides seeing what will happen if ur ph is 8.2 there really is no reason to scrub it's more work then anything making sure ur doseing the proper amount that is being consumed.
Well u will just have to see for urself I guessNo, I meant when I scrub it's 8.2-8.3 otherwise without its 8.0.
Well u will just have to see for urself I guess
If u aren't lower then 7.8 I wouldn't worry about scrubbing to much or I would run a line outside put a fan on top of the sump do other stuff to raise it.
The only reason I will scrub now is because I can see actual growth from day to day on my corals while scrubbing but it is a true pain in the butt to always be chasing the alk consumption and a bit more expensive.
Like I'm on vacation right now so I stopped the scrubbing and in the past three weeks my alk consumption has been the same it is so much easier then changing it day to day.
But once again it's ur tank and for u to figure out what is best.
What is ur main reason for scrubbing?
I think there is another "problem" going on because I still get good growth without scrubbing.I was hoping to get better coral growth to be honest. Now, I don't know what to do.

Do u test alk everyday? If so what is ur daily alk consumption I'm at 1 dkh a day. Are ur other params stable? I don't really care about a number I care that that number is constant day to day. What's ur flow like and ur lighting? I turn my tank over close to 120x an hour and run halides where every one of my corals is in the 200-400 par range

My ph is at 8.3 constitantly so I don't have a ph problemI wonder if you can get even better growth with a higher pH. Or just maybe, you are lucky and do not have a pH problem to start with.
Something isn't right then put a picture up of how u have it set up pleaseWell, Im out of ideas and may just ditch it. In 4 days this time, all the media was exhausted.

U hooked it up to ur calcium reactor not ur skimmer?I sold it, BUT I ordered another one now. lol. It seems in talking to the person I sold it too, its possible I was running two much CO2 through my calcium reactor.

4 days seems like it could happen. I only get 5 out of mine.
