I bought a Precision Marine calium reactor used, about four years ago and have finally set it up. Everything is connected, but I need info on how many bubbles/min of CO2 should be running through the thing and should the circulation pump run 24hr/day and what should the pH of the effluent be? Are supposed to control the CO2 output with the main regulator or the solonoid valve? Any other advice on these things?

OK, How about a simpler question. Does the water from the recirc pump, a mag 2 go into the bottom of the reactor or the top?

also, I don't have a PMI but is the line at the bottom connected to the pump? if so, that's the IN and the top is the OUT.

good luck!
