Dual stage Ca++ reactors....overrated?

[SuperFudge]

Hi all,

Im beggining to think that they are not all they are claimed to be,

Since running one,ive noticed there is much less dissolution of the media in the second chamber,due to an increased ph,sort of defeating the purpose IMO.


Wouldnt it make more sense to have a larger capacity single stage,so PH is consistent with only one body of water?

I have recently made a large capacity reactor,and i will place the exact amount of media that i have in the dual stage,and similar volume of co2,replace it on the same system,and give you the results.

Any thoughts?

Anyways...just thinking,errr typing out loud,Marc.
