I have heard two different ways of controlling PH when using a calcium reator and I am wondering which is the most effective way. Some people say to control the PH of the effluent and keep that stable, while other people say to control the tank's PH at 8.35 or so by turning on and off the CO2 solonoid when the PH drifts from a set point. Which do you guys recommend? I have dialed in my calcium reactor to where it is holding a pretty constant PH coming out of the effluent, and it doesn't seem like this should change too much when correctly set (i.e. the bubble count and effluent flow rate are matched correctly).
It's seems like controlling the in tank PH would keep the tank more consistant but if something happens and the ph in the reactor drops too low it may not catch it in time before something bad happens... What do you think?
