Ph controler

[Edd13]

I got a Ph controler (Milwaukee SMS122) it works fine ... but what should i dial it to if measuring the Ph inside the Ca Reactor? the previous owner told me 6.5 but i'm still a little unsure... help....please....

 

[Edd13]

any help? .... anyone?

This is just my opinion... I would think even though the inside of the reactor is relevant, its not the absolute parameter that needs to be monitored. That parameter is the tank water. So I would def think on the outside

that was my thinking as well .... i checked my peramiters tonight
Ph 8.2
Phosphates 0
Ca 520
Dhk 11 = 196.9 ppm kh
Nitrates 0
Ammonia 0
nitrites 0
Mag ... forgot to test, but probably good with a 8.2 Ph

All good ... i'll test again and see tomorrow afternoon

that guy was right. the water in the reactor needs to be around 6.5. i keep mine anywhere between 6.4-6.8 usually at 6.6.

here is a link to help setup the reactor. A Guide to Using Calcium Reactors by Simon Huntington - Reefkeeping.com
