calcium reactor and trace elements....

[puffdaddy_1]

Randy,

Besides maintaing calcium and alkalinity are there any other major or minor trace elements that a calcium reactor will maintain???


I appreciate your response

Depending on the media that you use, it can help maintain some things, such as magnesium, strontium,and possibly some trace elements such as iron. Despite the title, I address how CaCO3/CO2 reactors deliver magneisum and strontium in this article:
