Balanced calcium and alkalinity:
350 ppm to 1.4 dKH
375 ppm to 2.1 dKH
400 ppm to 5.6 dKH
425 ppm to 9.1 dKH
450 ppm to 12.6 dKH
475 ppm to 16.1 dKH |
You just made my day Mindy. My calcium is about 460 ppm with the almost about 16 - 17 dKH ..... I though my parameters were way off with the high dKH. Thanks so much
