What values should I set my calcium reactor for? I'm running the fine and coarse media, but mostly the coarse is left in there. thanks...

ok how about at what ph levels are you turning on/off your co2 solenoid? I heard depending on the media thats what dictates your ph in the cal reactor.

from what i gathered , keep the ph inside the reactor on @6.7 and off @6.5. then check the effluent ph and adjust co2 and flow from there. this is a good starting to help disolve the media? seems kinda tight to me.

That is a good starting point; then after a week see how your CA is and make adjustments accordingly.
