Paging Dr. Holmes-Farley...

and others.

Can you help me understand this reefer's situation? The answer is on the tip of my tongue but I just can't put it together. It's one am and I can''t sleep.

I think it has something to do with the solubility of carbonate in low ph and the relative insolubility of carbonate in high alkalinity.

But like I said, I can't quite put it all together. What's your take. I've read your articles on ph calicum and alkalinity and the causes of low ph.

Thanks in advance.
