thanks guys, I think to start, I will have to decide whether to go with a calcium or kalk reactor. I don't like the idea of having to manual add stuff to the tank everyday.

Hi!


What will be the ideal calcium and Ph level in a reef tank? I start using a Ca reactor 2 days ago. Anything I need to know or check.

ROFLMAO :lol: :shock: :lol:

You were kidding, right?

I add alk, pH and temperature the way everyone else does: with the little bottles my LFS sold me.

:wink:

Christy :)

Stir Crazy, I haven't read Calfo's book, but everything I've read says that carbonate and calcium is created from CO2 reactor effluent at about the same proportion relative to one another as the consumption of the two during calcification of corals.

That being said, in my system I still have to add a little extra buffer to keep everything balanced. I assume its due to extra acids created by my fish and macroalgae.

Here's a link of most if not all of Randy Holmes-Farley's articles on Central Reef:

No, I'm not kidding. I went to the LFS and asked for some bottles of alk, pH and temperature to add to my tank but they didn't have any, so I figure it must be a DIY thing. :D

You come to my house and I'll sell you all of those. Bring bottles and lots of money!! :P

speaking of which... that bottle of PH you sold me was the wrong one.. my PH didn't change... i want my money back! :wink:

Did I not explain my refund policy to you?
