Help with tank

check for Alk, it should be 2-3x than the dispaly tank alk.

also what is the size of the reactor becuse omg your effected drip is high and the co2 is way way high

Geo 612 so its a 12 inch tall and a 6 inch diameter. What do you think I should put my BPM and effluent drip rate at?

Paul, I think you may have set a little light off in my head. I think that maybe my probe may be off in my reactor. This would explain the "all of the sudden: low ph in my tank. Hmm.

sorry just got back from lunch start your co2 at 10 bubs a min and 40 to 50 effected drips a min then test your alk every day for a week then adjust daily to balence the effective drip with the co2 bub to get the ph in your reactor to 6.5 to 6.6 now here is the fun part if your tank needs more demand for alk adding cal and mag you need to balence again the co2 drip and the effected drip over a month you half to know your tanks demand it may take a few weeks of tuning the effective drip down and co2 many mnay times but rember do not do it fast few drips at a time or you will go out of wak also look into cal hydroxide balence it in with it thats were it gets hard it will help take co2 out of the tank and also buffer the system if you have a cal reacctor with no air stones or a place for water get pushed over something or pured in on rocks or something for oxegen then you will fight ph FOREVER hair alge cyno you name it thay all feed on CO2
