dkh and Calcium reactor

[dmbnpj]

In order to keep the dkh at the proper levels, will I need to add baking soda even if I am running a calcium reactor?

Thanks

It's all based on your testing. If you find that your dKH is low then you will need to make adjustments.

The main key is that you test before you tweak.

A Calcium Reactor will add both, your calcium as well as Alk. It's possible to have a lowered PH due to the Co2 addition but when properly tuned in, alk and ca should both stabalize nicely.

But as Dr4g0nf1y mentioned, depends on the testing as well.

Thanks, this answered me. Also, thanks to both on the recommendation on checking parameters. Hopefully the neptune jr. controller with come for xmas and I can set it all up.

Thanks again.
