Not that I'm an expert and I really haven't got my CA reactor dialed in right yet but I think I know the theory.
Alk is very important in this process I would defiantly get a test kit.
Increase of bubble count will lower the PH of the water in the Reactor thus causing the Calcium Carbonate to "Melt". The Reactor effluent rate determines the Time the low PH water mixes in the Reactor.
So Bubble count determine the speed of which CA is introduced into the water
And
Effluent rate determine the concentration of CA entering you water.
Now Alk is also raised in the process, exactly how I would love to know. But I would imagine if you CA is at 600 your Alk is very high.
This should not cause any adverse effects to your corals or fish but I would dial back your reactor and let the levels become more normal
If I have said anything that is incorrect Please feel free to correct me as I am also new to CA reactors.
