For those who run kalkreactors and calcium reactors..

[Delphinus]

Few years ago when I had a reasonably successful SPS reef, I ran both a kalk and a calcium reactor on my tank and thought I had pretty decent results.

Thought I'd go back to trying both now, but am noticing a couple things.

For the most part it looks like I'm unbalancing my Alk from my Ca. With the slowest of steady drip rates (about 1 drop per second) on the kalk reactor, I'm getting Alk around 4.0 meq/l (about 11.2 dKH) and Ca is about 370.

I'd kind of like to see my Alk back off a bit or my Ca bumped up a bit, but increasing either reactor spikes my Alk to well above 4.0meq/l, which is way too high.

For those running both, what kind of levels of Ca and Alk are you getting?
