Catherine I think if you fix the levels in your change water before doing the actual water change it will slowly bring your tank back into balance. That is what I was trying to get at a few posts ago in my own backarseward way. Do some 30 -40% water changes but before you do make sure that all the levels in the change water are where they should be. Let the change water sit with a power head for a couple of days before you use it and test it again before doing your water change to make sure that nothing has percipitated out.

I get what your saying Ruth, and I already plan to do that.

My question now is if I can use freshwater with a raised dKH level with my kalk. reactor.

I've already been through the Chemistry links already, and haven't found the answer yet.
