I just tested my calcium reactor effluent and came up with these numbers. Tests were done with Hach test kits.
Calcium 440
Alkalinity 19dkh
Magnesium 1237
This is down since the last time I took the readings back in Septemeber which read:
Calcium 600
Alkalinity 24
Magnesium 1237
I'm curious what your effluent should read or does this vary from system to system depending on the corals kept? I I do need to increase the calcium and alkalinity should I lower the ph through the co2 controller? I currently run my controler between 6.5 and 6.7.
