CA Reactor pH?

[DallasSVT]

What should the pH (to engage CO2 using APEX) be inside the reactor? I will be using ARM and NEOMAG at a 9:1 Ratio.

Thanks

Generally, 6.5 - 6.7 ish but there is no pure answer that will work for everyone.

Thanks Again Ken! I owe you a beer or a frag....something!!

So I am guessing that I need to calibrate the pH probe that goes in the CA Reactor to the lower end 4.0 and 7.0, Instead of the high 7.0 and 10.0 I used for the tank.

That would be my recommendation. Probes are most accurate in the range between the two solutions you calibrate it with. Not to say it won't still be fairly accurate in the high 6's without recalibrating, but I rather be safe then meltdown my reactor media.

Thanks again! I will post the new CA Reactor code for reassurance!
