Ok, so I got my (new to me) calcium reactor. (thanks Peter and Rich!) I've got it all cleaned out, shined up, and now sitting beside my sump. I plugged in my water line and I've got water flowing through it and all seems good so far.
Here's the skinny:
Vertex RX-4
American Marine pH pinpoint controller
Main chamber is filled with Carib-sea corse aragonite media
second chamber is empty
I've got 2 CO2 bottles, one is full and the other has 1000lbs left in the bottle but the hydro on it is expired. Not sure how old the CO2 is in it but I was thinking of using it to get everything set up and running, then send it away to get hydro'd.
I'm going to be setting the pH controller at 6.5 and starting the drip rate at 60 drops per minute.
Has anyone got any other tips, things to watch out for etc that I should know before I fire this thing up. Any personal experiences that might help me avoid any headaches.
I've read a ton, but for some reason still a bit nervous to replace my dosers with this
Thanks in advance
