Installing my CA reactor... good bye 2part!

slamming my head against the wall with this darn peristaltic pump.. It's not working AGAIN.

I'm about to go to a T off my return I guess.. Not what I wanted to do, but it's starting to look like a better and better option.

 

Grim,

My Calc. and Alk. was finally dropping some, probably due to my now 25 different species of corals!

Anyways, I got some Mrs. Wages piclking stuff, like $3.50 for a rather big bag,
and I mix about 1-2 tsp in a cup of RO/DI and add it slowly over about 5 mins. to the pump portion of my sump about every other day.
NOt too hard to do, and it's working for me.

My ATO is a direct feed from my RO/DI, (shich has been working awesome BTW), so I can't really use that system, hence the easy manual part.

Good luck on your reactor pump, etc.

 

I did kalk in my evap on my old tank, it works great. When you outgrow it, look into adding vinegar to supercharge the additions and get more for your evap. At this point, I'm going through nearly 3dkh and 25 ppm cal a day!! It's unreal compared to my past setups.

 

Sorry to hear, hope the T off will work better this time around.
