I currently have a Waterbox 20 running and it’s been up about 4 months. I recently purchased a marine x 90.3. In addition, I bought a BRS 4 stage ro/di. My mixing station is all setup. Anyway, I discussed my current levels with the LFS where my salinity was 1.026, DKH 8.6 Cal 360 and MG 1200. He mentioned that most of my levels were low and he sold me the Fritz red box. After mixing the saltwater overnight with 0 TDS, my DKH in the mixing barrel is anywhere from 13.4 to 14 (using salifert test) I am very skeptical to switch over to this new water. Is this something I can transition to over many small water changes or is there even a need to have the DKH this high? I don’t know if this could be true, but potentially maybe the water at the LFS that I have been using for months is always sitting for some time (regular IO) and then I get a few too many buckets. By the time I do a water change maybe these levels have dropped and that’s why I’m seeing low numbers? If I were to use regular IO or say even blue box rpm maybe it would mix to a similar DKH with higher cal and mag levels? I’m not sure. Just trying to figure out what to do in my transition to the bigger tank.
Thanks in advance for your time.
