Hey guys
I have a 1.5 gallon ATO reservoir, and I initially started it with 3 tsp of kalk for the 2 tsp per gallon mixture. Now, say it evaps 1 gallon per day. So, daily, I mix a gallon of ro water with 2 tsp of kalk and pour into the res. All else aside (settling and whatnot), THEORETICALLY, the total concentration of kalk remains the same, correct? A friend of mine (non-reefer) was over and was watching me do my daily routine. As I was explaining it all to him, he tried to tell me that I was raising the concentration every time i did that. Likewise, if I add vinegar to the ATO mix at the same dose per added volume, that stays the same as well, correct? I'm a flight paramedic by trade, and I calculate, mix and run multiple weight based IV drips over time on a daily basis, so I'm pretty sure I'm correct here, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks
