Dkh usages / Calrx effulent

[Dlealrious]

Hi guys just trying to figure out how much alk my calrx is putting out. My effluent rate is 216 litre a day(150ml a min). Dkh of effluent is 14. Ph in reactor is 6.5 6.52. C02 is always on. Main chamber is arm media but doesnt seem to melt as much as crushed coal did in second chamber( pretty sure tank has ran off second chamber for 5 months) i know i have a high flow rate but it didnt change in 5 months which is what i wanted.

Tank is sitting at dkh 7.3, want to get back to 7.7 -8

216 L of water at 6.7 dKH above the tank water is adding 1447 dKH-liters of alk.

Divide that by the tank volume to get the daliy addition of alk in dKH.

So if it is a 200 L tank, 1447/200 = 7 dKH per day. If it is a 1000 L tank, that is 1.45 dKH per day.
