Alkalinity measurments and filtering seawater
It is standard practive to filter seawater samples through filter discs to remove fines when doing alkalinity measurements. With the use of "milky" kalkwasser additions and calcium reactors that can introduce calcium carbonate fines into the water, I think it is very important to take the same action in home reef aquariums. I have a sneeking suspicion that alkalinity measurements in reef tanks are probably measuring higher values than really exist due to the inclusion of this micro particles. Anyone ever test this??

What porosity of filters should be used?

1 micron or 0.5 micron? Not really sure.
