Looks good! To answer your question about the CaRx, your effluent should have a pH of about 6.5-6.8 with a dKH of 30-60. If your pH is at the lower end of that range, your media will dissolve faster, but it will let you get closer to the high end of dKH as your Ca/alk demand increases. I run my CaRx effluent at about 50 dKH with a pH of 6.6

Wow didn't know you go that low with ph I been running it at 7.5 7.3 but I'm still trying to get use to it it's my first one so I am scared to push it yet but I also only have maybe 20 corals so stuff isn't being used much yet but I wanted to make sure 20 dkh isn't to high but I guess I don't have to worrie if you have it at 50 dkh but you have a reef going I get my new ph controller for calc reactor today so can't wait

Any pH below about 7.7 will begin to dissolve the media, but the effluent dKH will be pretty low. Until things grow in, you might be able to get by with a pH of 7.3-7.5, but eventually you'll have to increase your bubble rate/drip rate accordingly.
