Will using GAC while doseing ESV B-ionic cause any problems? Should I remove the carbon for a while after dosing? I'm having some problems boosting my ALK. CA=400 ALK=2.5meg/l
Shouldnt cause any problems at all..Will using GAC while doseing ESV B-ionic cause any problems?
Honestly no need really..Should I remove the carbon for a while after dosing?
Do you currently test for Mg?? if so what is the current level??? This can sometimes play a role in this.. There is a recipe that is like 6 to 1... 6 parts Baking Soda 1 part Washing soda.. I believe that is it.. LOL I belive its 1 tbsp per 20gals to boost alk 1 meq/l.. I believe Reefrunner has the Exact recipe... Might want to check with him for it or on the net.. I am sure its around.. Just watch your pH carefully as it will raise your pH for a bit..I'm having some problems boosting my ALK. CA=400 ALK=2.5meg/l
There is no need to boost your alk given the current Ca level. At 400 ppm Ca the balanced alk level is about 2 mEq/l. If you are trying to up the numbers boost the Ca another 10 ppm first to balance the levels. As cj10488 mentioned check the Mg levels as that will be a large contributor to your success.MT79 said:I'm having some problems boosting my ALK. CA=400 ALK=2.5meg/l
