Ca/Alk planning

[ctripi]

Looking for some experienced input.

I am conceptualizing a 48"x30"24" sps only reef. Very minimal rockwork in the display. And only 3-4 types of acro max.

I plan to supplement Ca/Alk with a CaRXR and saturated kalk ATO. But I'm stuck on the though of when to start the reactor up.

Ca/Alk demand would be rather minimal a first. So do I plumb it into the circuit and as monitoring indicates increased demand bring it 'on-line'. Or have it running from the start.

Thoughts?

So, you have an imaginary reef and your stuck on when to turn on the calcium reactor?

You start your dosing, in whatever way you wanr, when you detect that your Alk/Ca levels can not be kept with weekly water changes.

When you put it that way it is pretty humorous. *snicker*

Just wanting to plan for success.

My previous reef had a bit of a chemical roller coaster ride when I brought the CaRXR online a year into its growth.
