This morning I did a 25 gallon Water Change on my Waterbox 220(so probably about 160 gallons of water). I am still dialing in my dosing rates, so tested water before and after. After the WC, my Alk was 7.8. My goal was to get to 8.6, so I looked on BRS calculators and dosed about 103mL of soda ash BRS 2-part. Tested Alk again, and it was 8.1. Waited a bit and dosed 100 mL again, then went for a run. Came back and retested a couple hours later, and it was down to 7.3. I then dosed about 80 mL of KH Coralline Gro(just because I had it around), which is Sodium Carbonate, and that was the bottle's recommendation to bring it up to 8.4. Mixed it in slowly and waited a few minutes and tested--7.3 dkh, still! Argh!
Any ideas what my problem is? Not only do I need to get this sorted out, but I am running out of testing patience and reagent!!!
Thanks for the help. Really trying to sort this out...
