C A reactor to small?

[mrmore]

I have a korillin 1502 I think it may be too small for my mature sps 210 gallon reef. I have to dose extra 2 part to keep up my levels. I guess I could not be adjusting it right but I've had it over a year and pretty sure I understand it. Just want to know what you guys think before I buy a bigger one or add dosing pump.

It is a bit undersized. What is your dkh out of the effluent?

 

[reeftivo]

Dkh should be around 30 to 40 out of the effluent. If it is and is not keeping up you would need to increase your bubble count and effluent drip simultaneously. The only problem may be ph drop in the main system. If you had a 2nd effluent chamber
that would be better.

Actually I forgot how to test that because my Red Sea kit only goes to 14 dkh. I have course media that is running at 6.4 ph I'm gonna try 6.3.
