water parameters

Randy

Thank you for having this forum!! I have a simple question that I think I know the answer aready. My water parmeters still pretty consistant. The nitrite,nitrate, and ammonia still at 0. My Ca and alk stills at 400 and 7. Is this OK? I started Kalkwasser two weeks ago and when I tested the water each week, it was the seem. This makes me think it(limewater) agrees with my tank. No major swings. What do you think?

Thanks Randy

Mike

I would keep dosing it untill you notice an imbalance in calcium or alkalinity. Then just substite whatever part is not balanced anymore with cal choride or baking soda.

Its a good idea to have a refrence sample for alk test kits. 1.1350 grams of baking soda in 1gallon of distilled water=10dkh. Check your alkalinity test kit!

Yes, those values are fine and it sounds like things are working out nicely.
