Reactors and Additives

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

Yeah, I use buffers to keep my tank at a relatively high alk. I have a bit of green/brown algae in the tank. They produce CO2 that uses alk. Once the algae disappears, then it should be fine.

Although it is possible to dial my reactor to keep the alk high, this could cause my calcium levels to reach unsafe levels (>450ppm). So...I dial the reactor for constant calcium levels and add buffers to keep the alk above 15.
