![]() Since using h2ocean salt, my alk has climbed to 9.5-10. I was advised to take my pellets offline to correct this. 2 days later, fuzzy rocks and more than usual algae on glass. Would running gfo help fix this. If so, can I run it in the same vertex reactor?

I'm switching to kz salt once the wholesaler gets more in so I can run my biopellets again Io has high alk as well

It makes no sense because their system promotes low alk.

![]() I have never used KZ salt, but that would seem baffling to me. It seems in most probiotic systems like BioPellets and Zeo it is recommend to run a lower dkH like 7-8. For them to have a higher alk salt seems counter to that.

![]() Yep. Baffling to me also.
It's the main reason we don't keep it in stock.

![]() I believe biopellet does not effect your alk. Did you just start using biopellets? also taking off biopellets cold turkey can cause more harm then good. I would keep the biopellets and run smaller amount gfo to fine tune your p04. Be careful when running gfo because overloading it can strip your tank so i recommend you looking into this product .

![]() Running a high Alk with Bio Pellets can cause SPS tips to burn. This happens around 8 dkH. I would definitely take the bio pellets offline until you lower your Alk.
