You can run you effluent faster, just do not keep the PH in the chamber so low. Ex. Instead of 6.5 keep it at 6.9
calcium reactor or no calcium reactor? That is the question

I'm not sure if everyone knows that you dial the calcium reactor in to maintain the alk level. Calcium is a bi product. It should be called an ALK reactor.
This is all I test for why dialing it in. Once ALK has been stable for few weeks, I will start testing Ca to see if I need to set the dosing pumps back up.
my ALK level has been holding at 10-11ish since installing the ca reactor.
my calcium level has leveled off at 430ish
my regulator is allowing 1 drop every 4 seconds. and is activated when ph reaches 6.75 and it turns on once it reaches 6.45 in the main chamber.
basically it turns on every 3 hours for an hour based on my reef angels history graph.
so far cant complain. my Montipora is taking off. has grown roughly .5 inch since installing the reactor.
hammers are appearing to look better, and is branching off two more heads.

Mine is set up like Elliott's. I think I need a new probe for the controller. It came with the tank I bought so I don't want to trust its reliability. I just started adding corals yesterday.
