Been dosing 2 part since I started reefing and just decided to switch to a calcium reactor for a more stable system. I went with GEO's 612 model for my reefer 450 sps dominated tank. I am using the Reef Fanatic's regulator. I got it all set up a few days ago and have it dialed in pretty close but find that the ph in the reactor isn't steady. I have it set to turn on at 7.0 and off at 6.9. It will take about 10-15 mins for the ph to drop down but when the solenoid shuts off the ph raises fairly quick. Only like 5 min then it will trigger the solenoid to turn back on. I have tried to lower the co2 ever so slightly but if I do the ph just stays where it is at.
I guess my question is, am I doing something wrong? I have read that the solenoid should only turn on a few times a day. I should also mention that I am doing the method where the effluent rate is measured in ml not drips. I have my flow set to 80 ml per min.
