Calcium reactor controlled by Neptune Apex
- Thread starter JPLreefer
- Start date
Basically the controller will be controlling your solenoid on your CO2 regulator, to turn it off or on depending on where you have it set in your program. You could also have the feed pump controlled as well, but that's not normal. So to answer your question any and all calcium reactors because they are not actually controlled. My recirculating pump runs 24/7 as well as the feed.
This is my program for my DIY calcium reactor on the Apex
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If pH2 > 06.71 Then ON
If pH2 < 06.66 Then OFF
If pH < 07.79 Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
I have 2 PH probes, one in the overflow and one in a effluent box. The one in the effluent box is PH1 and in the overflow is just PH.
So if the PH raises to 6.71 the controller will turn on the solenoid and same when it gets to 6.66 it goes off. But if the tank PH goes below 7.79 then it shuts if off for 5mins then comes back on.
Sounds like you might need one of my "industrial" dual stage CO2 regulators that I rebuild and sell sometimes, like this one :angel:
