Alk? (1 Viewer)

[ReefWatcher]

I cannot maintain my alkalinity level it keeps falling after 2-3 days and I have to manually dose it despite using Calcium Reactor and Kalkwasser at the same time.Calcium and Magnesium a level are high.I appreciate any comments/suggestions.Thanks.

Eugene, slowly increase the effluent rate and that will increase DKH. Test the next day and adjust accordingly.

Don't do anything to CO2.

Which means the ph would go up in the efluent chamber right?Ok let me try it.

what's are your readings for:

calcium
alkalinity
magnesium
pH

what's are your readings for:

calcium
alkalinity
magnesium
pH

Calcium ^500
Alkalinity 8-10 (although within normal range but it keeps falling every 2-3 days,I'd like to stabilized to 9 0r 10)
Magnesium 1500
ph 7.6-below 8 (never goes above 8 for several months already)

Calcium is too high. I would probably turn off the reactor for a few days and just dose alk supplement. Calcium will come down to about 400 and then you will be able to maintain alk.

Then turn the reactor back on and you'll be set.

what media are you using in the reactor? I've noticed my caribsea puts in more alk than calc.

Ok, I was thinking same thing.(just lazy of testing/re-testing parameters again)A second opinion is good.Thanks.
