That seems lower than it should be, I think I read AF wants a slightly lower dkh for the proliferation of the probiotic fauna. Should I decrease my sodiumCarbonate dosing? I use auto dosing pumps and can titrate to anything, I was targeting dkh8 prior to using AF. Even with using NACarbonate dosing and pumping outside air, still seem to struggle with keeping my ph above 8.0. thats why I'm concerned, this salt is pushing my ph in the wrong direction.
