tank parameters
looking for recomended adjustments for getting tank parameters in check.
i added a calcium reactor to our 155 gal. reef on April 5 ,2days later the readings were
tank ph - 7.68
calc. - 520
alk - 6.4 dkh
efl. ph - 6.97
efl. alk - 28.5 dkh
todays readings are :
tank ph - 7.55
calc - 500
alk - 7.0 dkh
efl. ph - 6.5
elf alk - 35.0 dkh
so far unable to raise ph or alk to desired levels , any suggestions? [ reactor media is ARM , and ph tested with pinpoint moniter. ] bulbble count is 1 per sec. and efl return is around 40 drops per min. if you nee any other info please let me know.
thanks - Russ
