Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #34
If limewater (kalkwasser) is used over the course of a day to boost the alkalinity in a reef aquarium by 2.8 dKH (1 meq/L), the calcium level will have risen by how much?
A. 0 ppm
B. 5 ppm
C. 10 ppm
D. 20 ppm
E. 30 ppm
F. It cannot be determined because calcium and alkalinity additions are unrelated using this method
