| Just wondering if anyone on the board is using both reactors and the benfits of it. I have a PH swing from 8.5 down to 8.4 which isnt bad but I havent started dosing the CO2 into my tank yet. Wasnt sure what to expect. |

8.0-8.3 is good for PH

I run a double chamber Ca reactor. My pH is usually around 7.8 -8.0; which is low but not bad. Supposedly, coral growth won't suffer if Ca and Alk are kept in the high side. I bought an Aquamedic Kalkwasser reactor quite a few months ago and still hasn't set it up yet. I will though, one of these days. ------------- If you can't bedazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bs! Dinhkim Le - Procrastinator extra-ordinare |

| Is there any articles I can read about using a Kalk reactor as top off and a calcium reactor?? Im trying to learn more about these things. will the top off not raise the calcium and Alk that the Calcium reactor is trying to maintain?? |
