    PH probe today so i after 3.5 days of running the reactor I got readings for my Effluent, MT and Makeup water. MT was 8.1 and the Effluent wound up being 6.5 on the nose. Its that normal to nail the correct ph on first try like that? I just let about 45-50 bubbles out per minute and dripped at a drop rate about twice as fast. I rememebr reading that the Large ARM dissolves at 6.5 so Im guessing all is good?

    Salifert Alk test came as well. Going down there now to test Ca and Kh..
