When you start your reactor you want your CA and ALK EXACTLY where you want to keep them. You don't want to run them up or down with the reactor. This is the number one mistake with CA reactors.

Start with the reactor putting out slightly lower amounts than you think is needed. Measure 2x a day. If the tank specs have fallen, use B-Ionic's two parts to bring it back to optimum. Then adjust your reactor up slightly. Keep doing this every day until the reactor keeps it even. If you try to do it all just using the reactor you'll keep swinging up and down for a LONG time.

Do you have a single or dual reactor? Shoot for a EFFLUENT ph of about 6.5 out of a single, or, 6.8 or so on a dual.
