y=48% water change to get to 375


Thanks, Mr.Ugly! I am sure I learned this in high school but that was a LONG time ago!! So, check my math here. If using the example above, you have a 120 gallon tank that is measuring 420 calcium and you do a 20% water change that causes your display calcium to go down to 375, the water change water would have to be approximately only 200ppm calcium?? Wow!

RBursek- It looks like you should double check your tests man just to be safe, or you got a REALLY bad batch of salt.

Can the same formula you supplied, Mr Ugly, be used with other parameters, like mag?
