solved: I realized when I reorganized all my wires and hung the DOS etc the dos for CA was hooked up backwards. Ugh
240g, 300system. 4 months old geared towards sps. 40 frags and 20 fish.
So I’ve set up a doser for Kalk though a Kalk reactor (pump type) and when I had it off for a few weeks I was using the DOS on a 2 part. The reason for this was I thought the Kalk was driving my calcium too high and not my kh as my trident read 650ppm. I later calibrated it to find it was 350ppm. So went back to Kalk.
my calcium hasn’t been doing much and was sitting around 380 and my KH seems to decline without 2 part.
For calcium I was doing 100, 200ml a day monitoring as I increased. Since I’ve added 1000ml a day as instructed by BRS calculator to get my calcium to 420. I’m at 400 after 2 days.
kh is a similar story but somewhere around 90ml a day does well.
so why isn’t my Kalk reactor doing anything. I say this because when it was off I was still dosing the same amount and I was hoping t replace the two part. I dose a gallon of Kalk a day via DOS. I have added more Kalk powder to the reactor on 2 Occasions.
Thoughts??
