 Topic: Calcium reactor and kalk
Posted: August 22 2010 at 5:50pm |

If the calcium reactor is keeping up with my alk and calcium and my ph is fine, is there any reason to run kalk?

I would say no. I don't think you need to run anything else if you have a calcium reactor.

Only if your ph is dropping, it will take about a week to really get the reactor running correct, buffer your aquarium for calcium and alk and then see over the next few day what those numbers are this helps you tweak the reactor for the right numbers

As long as your ph is stable I would say no you don't need it. Now what are you going to do with your kalk reactor lol.
