Ca Reactor ?

Hey guys.... question is:

If after running a calcium reactor and parameters are on target at around:
410-420 Ca
8-8.6 Alk

pH in reactor = 6.5-6.6

Is all that needs to be done is regulate the effluent to stabilize the parameters??

Thanks calcium reactor pros.

Yes, regulating the effluent is all that needs to be done to maintain a constant dosage.

Second question:
Why is it that when the controller shuts the co2 tank does barely any effluent drip? Is this suppose to happen?

Thank you in advance,

I'm guessing that when the solenoid kicks open the extra pressure from the CO2 increases the pressure inside the reactor
