You and me both. I’ll update in the next few days so hopefully we can both sleep at night. Lol Thanks againNo problem. I hate not being able to get to the root of an issue

So, update that doesn’t help anyone sleep at night. Removed kalk from ato and calcium plummeted. Still burning through 2 part, but the kalk was clearly helping boost calcium.You and me both. I’ll update in the next few days so hopefully we can both sleep at night. Lol Thanks again
Not sure if anyone cares, but thought I’d update incase someone else runs into this. Lol.So, update that doesn’t help anyone sleep at night. Removed kalk from ato and calcium plummeted. Still burning through 2 part, but the kalk was clearly helping boost calcium.

I added a reef Octo pulse 4 to my tank yesterday. It’s an awesome powerhead, btw, but my alk dose drops into the DT into the area of the Octo 4. My alk skyrocketed to 14.64 today and I have tested multiple ways. It seems that a ton of the alk I was dosing precipitated out before it could be distributed. So, my alk is crazy high but it’ll be consumed and hopefully this will solve the issue.
Thanks Randy. I am now back to alkalinity being used up extremely quickly so whatever event stopped it, has now ran its course. I may have to switch to a calcium reactor if I can’t get this under control. What’s your best source for large amounts of soda ash, or, I could supplement with all for reef through another doser?Thanks for the update. I would note there may be other reasons for the effect too.
More aeration by higher flow can lower pH in a tank in a home with elevated CO2, and so the demand by organisms may decline.
Forgot to mention (and it’s a big thing I forgot) I change my filter sock yesterday and it was hard as a rock. So I am definitely getting precipitate. Should I give up on the chase for high pH to reduce this?Thanks Randy. I am now back to alkalinity being used up extremely quickly so whatever event stopped it, has now ran its course.
