were using the same media, just dont take my word for it, goto wetwebmedia.com and reefkeeping.com both have plenty of articles on this stuff. check...
target effluent dKH 20+, Ca 600+. the lower the Ph will melt the media to mush over time. best to kept at 6.8 imop
oh yea one more thing, the lower the Ph the higher the dKH and Ca. the higher the Ph the lower the dKH and Ca. set it for 6.8 Ph with an effluent...
what media do you have? 6.8 is the target. to clarify earlier message: if there is no reactor and you do normal water changes the elements will drop...
its going to raise the elements whether its ocean sand or bag sand. keep in mind to much sand will collect items you dont want in your tank. general...
glasscages.com for the overflows, size is in the eye of the beholder.
i came back in to send a second note, but anyway. the balance between Ca and dKH is rough but simple. the solution of the effluent is balanced. but...
alot of things going on here, algae comes from having to much PO4. reefkeeping.com has a chart for balanced system requiments as far as Ca and dKH...
stores will sell a dead man a grave. are you setting up a reef tank or fish tank?

the media is carib-sea arm aragonite. also in use, a denitrator from aquaripure which is fed 10 cc vodka/week. the denitrator is a seperately closed...
no kalwasser was used as stated before. the ca reactor ( ph = 6.8, ca = 640, kh = 10 ) at a drip rate of 25cc/min, to a second chamber ( ph = 7.1, ca...
black water im the one your all talking about, prior to whatever happened, here are the settings: ph = 8.2-8.4, ca = 490-500, kh = 4.0-4.5, mg =...
