Can someone tell me how to lower alk please!
Thanks Chief! What about turning my calcium reactor off?Water changes are probably the easiest and safest way.
Ya Ming, I was tuning the ca reactor and the alk went over 11.00 so I turned the reactor down and did water changes and it is coming down now. Thanks everyone!Did it get too high because you're trying to fine tune your ca reactor and overdosed too much? If so, and you overdosed by a lot, then water change followed by turning the reactor to dose slower (less co2 and less effluent).
Sorry, DKH was 11 alk was 4Is 11 the DK or alk
Well thanks Andy. This tank hasn't seen GHA in about 2 yrs. Knock wood.Hi
This is only my opinion but I keep my DKH between 9-13 on all my systems. Whether it be fish only or reef. I wouldn't be too worried at 11. I have found that with the higher DKH I have no green algae growth and more coraline. I also do dose with calcium and magnesium
