???High alkalinity???

[Grins]

Are you dosing with anything?

 

[richm20]

just trace elements, if thats what you are asking.

 

[Grins]

Sometimes people overdose with buffers, that is why I was asking. I'm battling high alk at the moment myself.

 

[richm20]

What are you doing to lower them? Water changes?

 

[Grins]

Yes, water changes to help raise my Ca which was a little low.

 

[richm20]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but raising your CA doesn't lower your Alk.
I'm doing water changes with DI water, but my AK still stays high.
I'm at a loss, seeing as I have no idea how to lower my AK.

 

[Grins]

Sorry, typo on my part. I meant the pH was low. So trying to get that up to help with the alk.

 

[ricsreef]

Yeah,I think its the other way around,Raising Alk. lowers your CA.Do you add some salt mix to your R/O water before topping off,or water changes?

 

[Grins]

No, I top off without the salt. I get lots of evaporations due to the MHs.
