be shure to never cross over 8.6 PH as you will have precipitation and break the balance if you do,  balance back  you tank adding buffer or calcium supplement to get the balance and then start over with the

yes brad you are right that why I give this link and tell to study this well before to do it and tell him to not test only when he know wath he do 
it dosnt realy matter if you have a kalk reactore or not as long as you use fresh kalk and dont cross the PH warning maybe you have and that why I said you NEED a ph meter to do it 
if people dont do it the same way I said you will have problem  
before to use any methode you need to read the instruction if one dont and have problem it's not the fault of the product
