Was at my LFS the recently and he mentioned that nitrates soak up or consume alk. I had not heard that before, but I just Kalk pasted some mushrooms and my alk dropped by about .33 dkh, and kept dropping. Now I know that is not a lot, but it was running really steady with my trident for a couple weeks, and to my knowledge nothing else has changed. I even dosed about 10ml extra alk and it barely impacted my number (I am only dosing 30ml per day alk). Thoughts?
