    Default Calcium Reactor

    I just bought a calcium reactor for my 75 gallon tank. My LFS is closing and he needed to liquidate everything so I bought it. The only thing is that I'm not exactly sure how to get the right results. What specifically should I be looking for. Right now I have it set at 1 bubble every 2 seconds with a steady trickle into my sump. Is this a good place to start. I also checked my Ph and it was 8.3, my dKH 11.04 and my calcium is near 400 but just ran out of tests so I'm not exact on that. Where should I be if this thin is working properly.

    Thanks
    Chris

    test your levels tomorrow. Then if same as today, test every other day. If still the same test weekly and so on from there.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
