Hey everyone,
My calcium has been rising for a couple weeks now. I don't dose calcium yet, but I do dose KH. I check all my parameters 2 times a week and have noticed a massive increase in calcium even from the last test. I do a water change every Sunday arvo (just did one and checked parameters)
Values are compared below:
Wednesday Sunday
KH: 7.8 8.0
CA: 520ppm. 540ppm
MG: 1380 ppm. 1380ppm
No3: 4.25 4.2
Po4: 0.2 0.2
Temperature: 25 degrees Celsius
Salinity: 35ppt/34 psu/1.025 sg
I calibrate my kits when I get them and every few months. Did I calibration today and CA out by +25 ppm. Could it be the dry rock dissolving and releasing the CA into the water?
Any way to get it down apart from water changes would be appreciated.
Thanks Fin
