Help with dialing in calc reactor

[jumpincactus]

This is what I need help with folks. Just installed my GEO clacium reactor.

I had all my target parameters set before setup Calc @ 430

Alk @ 9.5 Now with that done I have setup the reactor, no leaks, pumps run great.

The dialing in is where it gets gray for me. I am not using the Co2 bubble counter, my GEO comes with one. I am running about 1 bubble per second which of course is 60 bubs a minute. I have not checked the effluent Ph. How do I know where to set the drips per sec/minute for the effluent? for best values?

Any input at all will be appreciated. Chime in with anything I have not asked and should have, or anything I seem to have missed.

Hopefully this will be as painless as possible

I would shoot for a bubble stream with the effluent....I try to keep the effluent ph at 6.6-6.8 with a pH probe. I would let it run for 24 hours and check your prams and adjust accordingly.
