    It takes lots of time and water testing to get it tuned in. You have to inject the right amount of CO2 and allow the right amount of effluent into your tank. So to answer your question..no..it won't just know the perfect calcium level. It all depends on how much your tank uses up on a daily basis and how much water from the the reactor you allow into your tank.

    But when you get it tuned in...they're sweet. I'd hook it up.

    Yeah it looks like I can adjust the flow so perhaps I will try it out. I just tested my calcium, it was 480ish. Not bad but if I can dial this thing in and stop the swings all the better, huh?

    Yep. Consistency is key.
