Doug I dont have a lot of experience with CO2 reactor but I have made a lot of reasserch ans test and my conclusion is that lowering your ph inside the reactor and slow you efluent drip will help to balance your calcium
it seem that at lower PH, the reactor disolve more calcium than carbonate in %

I dont know why but it seem to work :?: I have almost finish to botle of alkalinity test and 2 box of salifer calcium test :? to arrive to this conclusion

I will try to explane the best I can in my bad english hoping you will understand

Do some test and you will see someting realy currious take measure of your efluent KH, the drip rate in ml. perminute ,PH in the reactor and note all your reading then slow your efluent but keep the same CO2 rate your PH will drop but and your alkalinty efluent will raise but not enought to keep you level up in alaklinity

now do some calculation mutliply efluent alk x drip rate from both set adjust and you will see you add more DKH at hight PH per volum than in low PH but more calcium at low PH per volume :?:
