Since setting up my tank, my parameters have been pretty consistent:
Ca 320 ppm
Alk 9 dKh
pH 8.2
Since my alkalinity was good, I tried adding a bit of calcium chloride to bring up my Ca. I added enough today to raise it by what I estimated would be 20 ppm. That worked as expected, but my pH dropped to 7.8! I am guessing that it would be unwise to continue in this fashion, but what should I do then?
Thanks,
Chris
