I've had my reactor set up and running for about 2 or 3 weeks now and I tested my calcium today with my Sailfert kit and it's at 340 ppm. Alk is pegged at 3.4 meq/l. Ca doesn't seem to be moving up too quickly at all....
pH of effluent is 6.6
Kh of effluent is about 23 kH
Ca of effluent is off the sailfert charts, appears to be around 510 ppm. (which doesn't seem right logically...)
My Ca was around this level before I started this reactor (BTW, it's Bob Odenwellers dual chamber reactor with 15 pounds of media in it). How long does this process take?
