this is the video i need. most videos skip some steps or info. i really do appreciate your knowledge.

Been in the hobby a long time. CARX scares me but this helped me understand it quite a bit better. Thanks for the well thought out breakdown. I have close 250g water volume system that acro dominant. At the rate of dosing im guessing this may be my next move. Only hard part of this is finding the space for this.

Sam let me tell you something… you might not realize it, but you have become one of the many important contributors in the reefing hobby. You might not think that way but I can assure you are. You are shoulder to shoulder with BRS, julian sprung, reef builders I can go on and on. Let me remind you I’m from Texas and I look forward to watching every one of your videos. I wish you health and happiness with not just you but your friends and family and of course your dream tank. You are truly an inspiration to any beginner hobbyist. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 happy new year my friend and happy belated birthday to your wife!!!!

Great job, very well explained, not using one yet but maybe in the future .thanks mate

Awesome vid Sam, very well done mate 👍

Oh so excited! Keen to see the cove and setup with profilux mini.

Welcome to the world of GHL! Hardest time to get it connected.. but once it is..it’s a great system!!

Great video, I’m starting to get in to wanting to dose with a calc reactor. How has this one held up on your system?

Awesome video mate 👌🏼cove reactor on the cards in the next few months and can follow this guide cheers

Hi Sam, always love your video👍 thank you for your efforts! Could you tell me where did you get your CarbonDoser regulator?

Thanks Sam for a great video. Really helped me set up my calcium reactor. I’ve noticed my ph in my tank has dropped quite a bit. Is that normal?

Great video - thanks for the in depth look. One question as I plan my own DIY CA reactor - I assume if you have the Carbon Doser you don't need a separate solenoid valve? One can just plug in the Carbon Doser to a controllable outlet, and turn that on/off for safety based on pH control via Apex or other controller?

Hi Sam, I have a cade & im curious if the calcium reactor will fit in the end cabinet were the chiller might usually go?

Hi Sam, thx for the video. Have you hooked one up to your main tank yet? I wonder what Ph set point range you have set it on and off at? Thx

Could you do a long term review on the kh keeper plus and a comparison with other kh monitors that you have used?

Hi Sam, how did you set the orange and the yellow circulate valves on the cove reactor. I can't find any info on if i leave them on or off.

Parker, you lost me at find your local brew dispenser, cheers 🍺 🍻 🥃 😂

How well does it maintain trace elements bc 2 part is just so easy I can't see this being worth it unless it actually maintained trace elements which as you know 2 part doesn't....but I've been looking into this Tropic marine trace supplement you can add to your 2 part

Frag tanks are generally smaller systems.. why this vs kalk or 2 part? I have a 90 sps dominant and currently 2 part but really need CaRx as salinity keeps creeping up daily.

Out of curiosity how come you haven't considered a apex for your frag or main system which will also run your reactor... how do you monitor calcium and magnesium

Calcium reactors always scared me. I am kicking myself for not switching sooner. They are really super simple and easy to run. ESP with automated alkalinity testers of today. I have been running mine with hydros and Alkatronic and it automatically regulates my pH in the reactor based on my alkalinity readings. It’s the easiest setup I’ve ever ran. It even automatically compensates with running Kalkwasser heavily on top of it as well.

what media use to magnesium

I really want some kind of electrical CO2 generator so I could just make my own CO2 at home. But I just use No3Po4X anyways. I'd like to stick with No3Po4X for a while. It does reduce oxygen in the water so I've heard although I haven't had any problems yet. Eventually I'll get a dosing system going and dialed in for my tank but I've been dosing everything by hand now for almost a year.

Oh this is a prime thumbnail! Are you big into Phish? HAHA

You stated bubbles per second however, as the CO2Doser reminds, it's SECONDS PER BUBBLE.

I just use my Trident to turn my dosing pump on and off. That way it’s guaranteed to keep my alkalinity as close to level as possible.

Did any one came up with this might have being your iodine probleem . im not sure , but your calcium reactor media could have give of some more trace elements with a higher ph (some even contain phosfate) and not the calcium . or your media maybe contained some more iodine than normal ! Besides iodine and strontium make coralline algea grow well
