If I understand correctly, the calcium carbonate (dead corals) maintain both calcium and alkalinity levels. Theoretically, what happens if the calcium and alkalinity is not being absorbed in an even manner?
Also, what happens if I do once a month water changes with NWS (which is less than the calcium and alk levels that I wish to maintain) will leaving it in the same dosage amount make the cal and alk balance to the correct level?
How do you do maintenance on the reactor? When do you refill it with more of the carbonate?
Im assuming it comes with a doser attached, right? How else would I measure amount needed?
Before today I always thought the machine measured the levels and automatically corrected it. I learned that it wasn’t true, but it sounds much better for maintaining my 300+ tank.
