I have a 50gal reef tank. I have a kalkreactor wondering what is the best setting to run it at? It goes 1 to 24 hours and mixes for 15 to 270 seconds.

Do you have it inline with an auto top off system?

Then you want it do dose the tank at night when the Ph is lowest. Set the mix pump to go off about an hour after the lights go out and turn the dose pump off while its mixing and for another two hours after that, you dont want to mix and dose at the same time.. Keep a close eye on your Ph while dosing and adjust from there...
