I just shut it down because I want to made experience and see wath is good and wich is the more easy ans set and forget from now the calcium reactor is realy the easyer but is I have to run both.........with the calcium reactor Im wondering why pay so much to buy a calcium reactore and just not only stick with my kalk reactor :? and keep my money
Anyway it is to early to give any conclusion and this is my very first impression after spending 1000$ on it
I will not for shure get rid of my old visio kalk reactor for now and he sit
waiting to be refil
on ting very surprise me is how some could maintain a PH of 8.2 .8.4
with a CO2 reactor? what exacly they do to keep it that hight I realy dont know
I going in vacation next week for 2 week but when Im back I will start to dose borate hydroxide (borate acid and sodium hydroxide) It seem from some report from french reefer that this will be the secrect to keep very hight stable PH
Here are intersting tread about Borate hydroxide

and the second part
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...rate+hydroxide
if you read this you will see that randy is again's the borate but never realy experience with it as much as people around but there some guy that realy use it and it realy work to fix PH at 8.3 night and day I have a a couple of friend how use it to and it realy work even habid from salifert use it and he even introduce a new test to test it and sid it seem to be an essentiel element
seachem salt already add it to ther mix in very hight quantity maybe to hight
in an article Randy recomand to use Boraxe from the grocery store but from people I have ask they said it is not the same and borate should be add in the form of borate acide with the sodium hydroxide to form barate hydroxide and not only borate how will be useless and detrimental
I keep you update
