    So how I have my Apex set up is as follows In the D.O.S. I have the configuration set to double my daily evaporated water rate...I also have some programming in the advanced menu to keep the doser from add kalkwasser when the PH is at what I'd like the ph to be near, so right now I have it set...

    Well co for on the spiny character has been harmless..I've had them in the past...I'm hoping that the alge reactor will do enough..I don't really want to run a fuge, plus getting my kalkwasser dosing set up up and running my poor PH is to low for me since the restart, with my apex I should be...
