I tested my parameters today
CA 300
MAG 1250
KH 8.6
I dose Kalk via ATO. I recently slowed my drip rate from someones suggestion. My levels dropped. My levels are normally a little higher. CA 340, Mag 1350, KH 10
I fear my Kalk is the only thing keeping my parameters in check.
Per Randy suggestion eflluent KH should be 20-40 depending on demand. Mine is normally 30-32.
My effluent KH is 16.3 with a CARX PH of 6.4-6.5 (calibrated), Milwaukee ph controller and flow of 40ml per minute using ARM.
If I speed up the flow, my CARX KH should go down correct? Most suggestions are
If I slow it down, it does not drip uniformly, quickly becoming clogged. It is a plastic white needle valve. I am investing in a gate valve this week.
What is the recommendation? Lower PH in reactor to dose hotter? Or slow the flow to increase contact time with media?
Also, What could be added to the reactor to help keep Mag up? I read there was a product used for this.
