Hi all,
I’m setting up my new tank. I was adjusting Ca up to target (was planning to do KH later) and dosed the wrong thing. Instead of Ca/Mg/Sr I added a large amount NaOH/Sulphate. This is Randy’s high pH 2-part. I’ll label the bottles better going forward.
pH went through the roof and the tank is milky white due to precipitation as would be expected.
My question is, will this dissolve back into solution or do I need to drain and redo.
I believe it will not go back into solution easily and I’d better drain the tank and make new water, but wanted to get your feedback too.
Fortunately no life in the tank yet aside from some live rock which I’ve moved back to the old tank while I resolve this issue. I’ll drain it if needed but it will be over a bucket of salt wasted plus all that RO/DI.
Thanks,
Adam
