Hi All,
Due to what I thought were signs of calcium deficiency (distorted and curled leaves) I have added crushed corals to my filter and KH has risen gradually from ~4-5 to 7 over about a one-month period (no traces were added during this time).
Last week, I resumed adding Flourish 0.25 ml twice per week for my 10g and have noticed a large jump in my KH from 7 to 15. It make sense since Flourish contains calcium. However, I'm not sure whether the amount I have been adding would be enough to cause such a jump. According to the bottle, 500 ml Flourish contains 0.14% calcium, which works out to about 0.00035 ml in each 0.25 ml of Flourish I added. What do you think?
I just want to be sure that it's not something else that's increasing the KH.
Thanks in advance.
