So I have a GHL KH Director and it got wet, not sure how. First time ever. While it’s being repaired I was manually testing and adjusting the dKH using a salifert test kit.
I have a 600L tank and as per the Triton core 7 instructions you should dose 2ml per 100L. So I have been dosing 2ml x 6 daily doses (12ml) for the past year but the KH Director has been doing its thing. Maybe adding 50% when needed or more.
Manually testing and dosing I’m finding my dKH around 6.7 so I have been slow my increasing my dosing of all four parts and it’s now at 14ml x 6 times (84ml) a day but the dKH is the same. That’s a 700% increase.
Now, pH, it was previously around 8.3 but recently It’s been around 8.0. I don’t know how that factors in.
My Ca is 390 and my Mg is 1320.
I have added some new corals lately and I have some 20 or so frags growing on a rack BUT nothing major has changed.
A recent Triton test said a few elements were low like strontium and molybdenum but nothing major.
Any idea what’s causing this, should I keep increasing my dose to g
