IO mixes at around 1200... so 1150 with not dosing sounds about right. Ever thought about changing salt? You should start a poll on peoples favourite salt. ![]() |

![]() Not for a while though, I picked up two 200g boxes a while back and that will last me some time. |

![]() Tested today's levels, actually slightly overshot, currently Mg at 1400ppm. (aiming for 1350ppm) I think I overestimated my total water volume.
Next WC in a week and gradual lowering should take care of that. Now aiming to get my Alk back up, it's at 7 dkh. Will hope to get that around 8.5 then I will get the Ca up, but not before a lights-out soon, as I'm battling some cyano problems. I have Chemi-Clean but I'm saving that as my last option. |

![]() Stable alkalinity will help w cyano.

![]() Should I let it stay at 7.0 for now then?

![]() From what I understand, you should try to aim for 8. Gives you a bit more room for swings. Currently I am running between 7.3 and 8, still trying to balance it out by tweaking the doser... 7 weeks on.

![]() 7 is a bit low unless you're doing full Zeovit or some such thing. Figure out where you want it, get it there, and get it stable.

![]() I raised it from 6 to 7 two days ago, and my pH climbed to an alarmingly high number, only steadily lowering since last night to a more acceptable reading. Should I continue to raise Alk slowly to avoid a pH spike? I was told that 8.5 is the number I should shoot for, yes?

![]() What type of salt are you using for water changes? May be able to boost the magnesium by using RC instead of IO for instance instead of dosing.
