Hello past few weeks this question has been starting to pop into my head. My system is 250 gallons total with display , frag tank, separate refugium , and sump. After finally getting my ph stabilized and consistently above 8.25-8.3 With a pretty extravagant Co2 scrubber setup outside air plumbed with solenoid valves connected to my apex my alk and calcium consumptions started to take off. Over doubled from 70ml a day to 160 ml a day of both alk and calcium. This has been going on for 3 weeks now. Right now I use brs 2 part. Does not cost a lot but I feel like 160ml a day Of each is a lot. Was wondering what other people feel is the switching point from dosing to reactor? I’m sure I will have some other follow up questions about reactors after this aswell. Want to mention with apex and trident and dos I can have trident test and dos fairly decently control how much needs to be dosed and then adjust little bit if day my ph fluctuates for a day or two if I have family visit for weekend causing high co2 in the house. How would a calcium reactor do this besides an actual manual adjustment from me? I have a calcium reactor and Kamoer pump already looking into New electronic Bubble counter aswell if I go cal reactor route. Sorry so long winded I’ve got a whole lot more to say but will stop there. Thanks for any help and info
