At what pH level will a calcium reactor start to work or start desolving the calcium into the water ?. > At what pH level will a calcium reactor start to work or start desolving the > calcium into the water ?. Nominally, at pH6.5, you'll get decent rates of dissolution. Like many things in nature, it's a curve that's strongly in favor of dissolution at pH6.5 and not at all at pH8.3. Exactly how much dissolution will happen at high pH's, well.... I'd be lying if I said I knew :) Regards, Ross -- Ross Bagley http://rossbagley.com/rba "Security is mostly a superstition.

I was looking into making my own reactor but needed to know this is a starting point. > At what pH level will a calcium reactor start to work or start desolving the > calcium into the water ?. This is the one I"m going to build very very soon. http://www.melevsreef.com/dj88.html Marc > Thanks guys.
