Is your Ca reactor not producing enough

Hey Chin,

Are you sure you're only adding 90 -100 bubbles per HOUR of CO2?????

No i'm not adding 90-100 bph. I am adding 90-100 bubbles per minute.

I find my reactor is keeping my calcium at 425, but my Alk won't go up. Alk stays at around 7, which is fine but I want it up around the 10 mark. Was debating wether to add some extension chambers to make them tall, to hold more media, to see if it would help

Gools,
try using some baked baking soda to bring up the alk.

Sorry Chin,

I just thought you were doing something that I should be doing.

By the way guys, Kari makes the best Ca reactors this side of the Rockies.

Thanks again, Kari.

I did do that, works for a few days then comes right back down. I also made my own 2 part, and dosed the Alk part, and had the same results. It's not something I losing sleep over, but I would love to get it up to 10, when I had it there before, corals grew like weeds.
