New to Calcium Reactor but my Calcium is at 545 ppm

[dadart2028]

I just started using Calcium Reactor for at least 2 weeks. Although my Calcium has been over 500ppm using All for Reef. My biggest worry is that how do I balance the calcium?

Back off on flow rate to tank. I would also reduce CO2 injection rate.

When you do a water change to reset parameters that doesn’t work? And then let the carx stabilize

I noticed this is your first post. Welcome to r2r.

Not being familiar with the apex controller or your experience level, help me to understand your data.
Please explain pH readings of 7.91 & 6.7. Also, on the top row included with Calcium at 534 ppm & 1375 ppm Magnesium is a reading of 8.76. Is that pH?

Currently I am dosing 8mil per min. Effluent. I am also doing 2 bps. I have no carbon doser injection, using the cheap version of selonoid. Should I cut back on both bps and dosing effluent?

PH 7.91 is the reading in my sump, and PH2 6.7 is the one inside the calcrx. Calcium is at 534, Alkalinity reading 8.76 then Mag 1375 ppm

Would I need a bigger wc to reset the parameters?

Slow down the effluent on the calcium reactor. Calcium should drop and pH should rise.
