Just like it says, what do you use to feed your calcium reactor and how many drops per sec do you have?

Thanks

I use a manifold to feed it from my return pump now, but since I have to turn it off each time I do a water change I'll probably use an aqualifter soon.

I feed it by tee'ing off my closed loop plumbing. Bubbles per minut is unique to each tank and reactor.

small maxijet powerhead feeds it, probably 120-150 drops/min come out, reactor pH varies from 6.6-6.7, reactor is a Korallin 1502 and it has 80% ARM and 20% Dolomite in it. Hope that helps! Oh and it is always on.

T'ed off from the protein skimmer feed pump. eliminates another plug, saves electricity, less clutter.
