![]() Have either of you tested and logged Calcium concentrations within your display tanks and the Sulfur Denitrator effluent?
My current parameters are as follows: DAY 31 TANK PARAMETERS (March 8/07) pH: 8.4 (by MILWAUKEE pH meter) Specific Gravity: 1.025 (by ATC refractometer) Temperature: 79.8 F ORP: 362 mV (Red Sea Aquazone Plus 100) Alkalinity: 3.52 meq/L (by SALIFERT) Calcium: 450 mg/L (by SALIFERT) Magnesium: 1380 mg/L (by SALIFERT) P04: <0.03 mg/L (by SALIFERT) NO3: 50 mg/L (by SALIFERT)* DAY 31 EFFLUENT PARAMETERS (March 8/07) pH: 7.5 (by MILWAUKEE pH meter) NO3: 100 mg/L (by SALIFERT)* Calcium: 490 mg/L My Sulfur Denitrator has nearly cylced. I tweaked it too much a couple of days ago so it should zero out again in the next day or so. I have not been dosing Calcium in the display, yet its concentration remains a constant 450 mg/L. My guess is that the Calcium will be more readily consumed and will be reduced once the Sulfur Denitrator kicks in and the Nitrates can be kept at zero. |
