dropping dkh every day

[chercm]

my dkh kept dropping everyday . trying very hard to keep my dkh at 8 and my ph is hoovering around 8.0 ( night ) 8.2- 8.3 (day) . CA - 440 and mg- 1400

i am using rowalith c+ ph: 6.2 set point drip rate at 1 sec 1 drop

Pls help. is it to increase the drip rate ?

I'm not good with reactors, but this page might help:

What's the dKH of the reactor output? You might need to increase the carbon dioxide input and the drip rate.

the output dkh at 45

Increasing the drip rate will increase the amount of alk & calcium added to your tank water.

The lower the pH the faster the calcium carbonate dissolves. Adding CO2 reduces the pH.

You may get a better response regarding tuning your reactor in from the Equipment Forum. :)
