Kalk Dosing with PMUP and Kalk Stirrer/reactor and a Neptune DOS

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

The pH probes should always read the calibration fluids correctly after calibration, or the calibration was unsuccessful.

hmmm. Should I recalibrate again. Both probes were getting the same numbers. I doubt they could both be bad. It there a double secret process the calibrations?

maybe I am missing something or need to let the numbers settle longer.

Randy you aren’t going to believe this....

so I did some research and recalibrated via apex local vice apex fusion. Probelem solved. if the prode is in 7 or 10, I get the same reading and my tank is at 8.02.

i still have a CO2 issue and will continue with kalk but it’s nice to know the ph prode is actually giving me good info

Sounds good.

Happy Reefing!

Fine it just works
The tube gets clogged every once in awhile but I just clean it out
I dose 12 seconds every hour that Is one gallon on my set up

Hi. I just got the avast stirrer and I am planning on using a PMUP to feed the stirrer. Could you share the code you used for your 12 second every hour dose? I understand i will need to change the times that work for me, but I have been struggling with programming the PMUP to begin with. Thanks!

Kalk is definitely the awesome. Reminds my of the old days and the Berlin method

I had a gallon jug and ran the apex until it filled it while doing that I measured the time it took divided by 24 and then ran it external with no kalk for five days into a five gallon container just to make sure it was all good

This is great, thank you so much! And great point on running to a jug to make sure dose is right. I'll do that
