Calcium problems.

[SuperFudge]

Are you sure your TANK alk is 18 DKH?...are you measuring near the effluent output ?

Well yes that is a problem....its too high!
Holy jeez 30bpm increase at once?
And no effluent increase (or no mention of amnt)?

I had suggested both of these perportionate to each other and to monitor it,more like 5 bpm and 5 dpm increase at a time,measure and adjust accordingly.

Whoooaaa gunshot approach! :eek:

You need only keep your TANK alk at slightly higher than normal,like say 3.6-4meq/l.....then raise JUST the effluent rate....test....if your calcium is not there yet,raise them both slowly and preportionatly.(increments as stated above) Test...if alk increased,then turn JUST effluent up more to counteract...leaving 24 hrs between adjustments and tests.
Repeat until params are met.

Weeks...not days.
