How is this possible?

[Sander1001]

I have been using kalk for almost two years now and just recently switched to a kalk reactor, for the obvious benefits. I also have a calcium reactor but ever since I started to use the kalk reactor I cannot get my calcium high enough. I never had this issue when I dosed kalk out of a bucket. I know plenty of water is getting pushed through the kalk reactor, and the kalk is stirred through out the day. My mag. is about 1500 ph 8.35 Kh about 10-11. What am I missing?

what are your magnesium levels? If it is low you might never get you calcium up. Also what specific gravity?

What are your calcium levels and what level are you trying to reach?
