Is it better to dose less fully saturated kalk, or more of a non-saturated solution, to raise pH? I have a strong suspicion it doesn't matter, but figured I'd ask
My alk is climbing but pH isn't, so I'm curious if a lower saturation, dosed over a longer time period, would be any better. My pH is 7.9 with a CO2 scrubber, dosing 100ml full saturation in 24 doses over 24 hours, in a 20g tank. Window is open. CO2 meter reads 433.
I'm dosing 2ml/day of nopox to get my nitrates down (currently 40ppm) and realize this will negatively impact pH, but want to minimize the pH hit.
Thanks,
PJ
