calcium reactor levels

[jc]

I just tested my alkalinity and its is 2.0meq. My calcium reactor is about 2 drips per second with a ph of 6.7. The calcium level in my tank is 340ppm. How can I get my alk back up? I stopped putting kalk in my top-off water when I put in my reactor, should I go back to it? I would dissolve the recommend amount in a container with r/o water and attach it to my osmolator. Can I use the kalk with my reactor and will help my alk?

If you've got a pH controller, the first thing I would do, would be to set the effluent to a broken stream. You'll then control how much calcium carbonate is dissolved by simply watching the pH. If you find yourself low, bump the pH down slightly.
