For the last 6 months or so I've battled rising salinity levels in my 72x24x21 tank. Current SG is 1.027 despite removing tank water regularly and allowing the ATO to replace it.
I top off with RO/DI water via my ATO and 16 gallon reservoir. I dose calcium chloride and soda ash for calcium and alkalinity supplementation via dosing pumps. Due to a rapid growth rate in my SPS/LPS I'm up to 265 cc of BRS soda ash/day and 277 cc of BRS calcium chloride/day.
Is the rising salinity the biproduct of the calcium chloride and the Na2CO3 from the dosing?
