Minor setback...
I increased the drip rate a few times over the course of the last week n' a half and managed to go alittle too far with it. The effluent tested at 5ppm, so I just set it back some. I'm guessing it was around 6 drips per second or so. The good news is my tank is still going down, I just tested and it was 25ppm nitrate.
I tested alkalinity for the first time since I connected the reactor and it did drop some. I have been running between 7-8 dKH and it tested at 6.4 dKH. So I may have to keep a closer eye on it, we'll see how things go.
So far, I am still pleased with the results. I plan to do more testing regarding calcium and magnesium when I get some more free time.
