    Calcium reactor pH problem

    ARM, mostly + some dead skeletons and the magnesium’s stuff + whatever. The thing is this, it’s always been easy to dial into the pH I want and the probe was calibrated since this started. I’m at a loss for why it’s happening.

    Calcium reactor pH problem

    I've been running calcium reactors since before it was common to use a controller to run the solenoid. I'm no expert but this isn't my first rodeo either. The Co2 is running at about 30-40 BPM and the effluent is running at maybe 100 drops per minute. These rates, IME should turn the media...

    Avast Marine K1 Kalk Stirrer - new motor $175.00

    I have used various reactors and schemes for kalkwasser dosing over the last 30 years and the avast marine (K2 in my case) has been unmistakably the best solution. Been running mine for 1.5 years.

    WTB Tunze 6105 x2

    My 6105’s lasted about 4-1/2 years when I decided to replace them. Actually, Roger warrantied 2 of the motor blocks and I did purchase 1 complete new 6105 so I would have a complement of new parts. I think the Jebao may work just fine for you. I have been using a modified Jebao pump on my...

    Wanted... Looking for someone to help clean up my wires and such

    Yes, 9 cord (Wax lace) is far superior to zip ties. In a lot of ways. For instance, even the T&B or tywrap brand still get brittle and break eventually, the garbage you get at Home Depot starts to degrade within just a few years. I’ve worked with wax lace that had been in service for 100 years...

    Steve actually did about 95%of that work. I worked with Steve on the layout and general requirements but execution was 100% Steve. Great work!

    Wanted... Looking for someone to help clean up my wires and such

    All valid points! Very well articulated as well. Did you happen to mention how much that rack cost though? Of course, I’m a little troubled that Richard didn’t just call me…. Or you :(

    Help with alk question

    Ok, the way I read it you had a gallon mixed up. I always keep a supply of sodium bicarbonate on hand. For instance, the stupid check valve on my carbon doser starts to act up every year or two And the kalkwasser reactor can’t quite keep up with demand all by itself. I end up having to make...

    Help with alk question

    Could be the salt mix, could be a lot of things. Generally you don’t want to move the alk more than 1DKH in a 24 hr period.

    Help with alk question

    Same thing as soda ash. But a gallon of it for a 25 with softies? That’s quite a bit. It’s not really “dosing” it’s more of making an adjustment. Have you tested for magnesium? You could be precipitating calcium and bicarbonate.

    Help with alk question

    The biggest problem low ALK with softies is the pH will be less stable. Softies do not consume much ALK at all. I wouldn’t go over 10 DKH. On a tank your size, you can just use regular baking soda (NOT BAKING POWDER) Put it on a cookie sheet and bake it for 30 min at 350 degrees. once...

    In search of 1/4hard airline tubing.

    I’ve bought thousands of dollars of stuff from McMaster Carr and never been inside one. They have a huge warehouse in sparks, I’m not sure where it comes from but it gets here fast.. like amazon prime fast… BRS on the other hand… I’m always amazed just how long it takes them to ship something.
