Are you running anything to remove phosphates from your tank water? What did you put in the fresh ME salt water?

Not running GFO anymore. It has some kind of negative reaction with running a zeo system.

Added Seachem's Reef Builder to the ME. Actually overshot it and put the Alk at 10.

Hey Chuck...100 pages...very impressive!!

You must have the pages set at the default level. On my puter, I'm only on page 25.

What are you running in your CA reactor?

ChuckG · #**996** (**permalink**) 01-22-2008, 12:41 AM

Korallin natural CA media.

Interesting, I'm running Knop Koralith Pure Calcium Carbonate. I'm going to test and see what I get

Using Seachem test kit I got the same reading tank water & effluent sample. Do you think it could be the media or a buildup in the reactor?

ChuckG · #**999** (**permalink**) 01-22-2008, 01:29 AM

I suppose it could have been a build up in the reactor. It's newly installed and I haven't fine tuned things yet. At the time of the reading I was only pushing about 60 drops per minute through the reactor so it was staying in there a long time. Today I changed that and am running almost a steady stream through the reactor and will try to fine tune it with CO2 input only based on the Alk of the effluent.

Ya'll thought I was crazy when I put the aquarium stand on top of my Ford Aspire when it needed powder coated.
