It's generally easy to lower the dKH level of a tank, though, and inexpensive, and it seems to have helped for some people, in a repeatable way, so trying it generally seems reasonable.
To clarify...So carbon dosing AND high dKH is not necessarily the issue, correct? It is more general, like ULN AND high dKH?
