I’m quite confused in my research of this.
My alkalinity has been rising with water changes from 9.3 to 10.2 - weekly 20% water changes using IO salt
But I can’t put a finger on why.
Calcium was at 390 week 1, and 440 week 2. It’s stabilized at 430 for the past two weeks.
Nitrates stay less than 5
salinity 1.025 and temp 78
RODI water - the past week I began making my own, switching away from LFS bough but it’s been a steady rise so doubtful this is the reason
I think I’m going to start being more precise with changes - testing the new salt and adjusting it as needed but… tips on this? And insight on the rising alk?
