Default Calcium reactor question

So my system is now over 300 gallons with the new frag tank my jetstream 1 is not keeping up any more with the system. I actually have 2 of these reactors so I could set up a second one but kinda worried about low ph from 2 reactors running. Anybody ever done this ? Or I was thinking about running the effluent from the first reactor thru number 2 kinda like a degassing chamber but not sure if I will really do much any thoughts ? Thanks Ryan

I personally just upgraded to a larger reactor and added an effluent chamber when my old one became too small for my system. However I got lucky and was able to find someone who was downgrading at the same time. So we basically just traded.

Update put the 2 reactors in line co2 only goes in the first reactor, co2 line on reactor 2 is plugged I use course arm media in reactor and run the ph pretty low reactor one ph 6.2 reactor 2 is at ph 6.4 this is working great tank is holding at 8.1 kh and 400ppm still can not get it to stay above 420 but don't mind manually dosing calcium chloride for that.
