calcium reactor question

[fugucuts]

Ph on my tank has been low 7.8-7.9 and I think the effluent from the calcium reactor is the thing driving it down. My calcium level is at 450 and I would like to keep it there. Should I decrease the bubble count or increase the drip count or a combo?

That is not unusual for running a CA reactor. Turning down the reactor will of course lower the CA/ALK readings as well.

It might help a little if you direct your output to a high turbulant area to try a dissapate some of the CO2.

The best solution is to add Kalk to all your Topoff water. You will get the best of both worlds by adding Kalk as well as the Reactor.
