Afternoon , having issues with calcium rising and not sure the source.
RODI source is sometimes 2-3TDS sometimes 5.
I dose code A & code B in my tank from Brightwell but I STOPPED CODE A for calcium when I saw calcium rising.
so here is a short log of my past testing.
12/28
Calcium 424 ( 15ml/day code B)
Alk 125 ( code B to 15ml / day and dosed extra 5mL to bump) - I had a drop from consistent 160alk as my dosing schedule never got turned on for a few days
12/29
Alk 140 (dosing 15ml / day)
12/30
Ph 8.4
34ppt salt
Alk 150 (15ml / day )
Calcium 460 (15ml / day to 0ml to avoid spike)
12/31
Alk 153 (15ml /day to 12ml)
DOSING 0ml calcium
1/1
Alk 162 (12ml/day to 8mL)
Calcium 488 (DOSING 0ml calcium )
1/2
Alk 162 (8mL/day)
DOSING 0ml calcium
1/4
Alk 163 (8mL/day)
Calcium 538 (0ml/day)
460 to 488 to 538 and no dosing ???
Using Hanna calcium checker
Got my Alkalinity in check but calcium is going wack. Salinity is stable and I’m sure as well because my alk stays constant
