Reactor issue

[cane]

I am currently running a GEO CR818 Calcium Reactor with a SMC415 secondary and Arm extra course media. My issue is I can not get my effluent above 13 dkh/alk. And for this reason my reactor isn't keeping up with my tanks needs. I have calibrated my probe and I have set my ph to 6.5,6.4, and 6.3 and still can't get above 13. I've raised and lowered the bubble count and still nothing. Any recommendations.

My issue is I can not get my effluent above 13 dkh/alk.

Have you checked the Sicce 3.0 recirculation pump to make sure it is working? With your settings the dkh would be over 20 so sounds like the water inside the reactor is not circulating.

I would not pay attention to the ph control, read the dkh of the effluent adjust co2 bubbles and ml at the output, you can see the method of @jada

Checked Sicce 3.0. It is working.

Increase the O2 tank air if you are able to

I dose kalk in my ato, too achieve the bigger alk (in addition to the reactor).
