kalk and stabilization.. A bit confussed

Chris Adams · Feb 23, 2015

Well there is some but based on your statement clearly not enough.
When the ato and stirrer start it does kick up a bit but I think the saturation may be a bit light.

Will get my readings in a bit.

How often does it stir?

Chris Adams · Feb 23, 2015

Went back through logs. Looks like only 3 times a day.

The amount to add depends on the size of the reactor, but it is often two cups or so.

If alk still drops, up the stirring to more times a day.

Todays #'s

PH low 7.74 current 7.98
Calcium 390 drop 5/10 ppm
ALK 8.512 down .448

Ok so if I base my gallons/day evaporation at .25 then per instructions I am looking at .25 cups biweekly or 2 TBSP per week.

I went ahead and added 1.5 TBSP

Randy I cannot thank you enough. I will keep you posted

Couple shots of the tank. Figured you deserve to see what you are assisting with.

You can have several weeks worth in the reactor without any concern.

Good luck!

Seem like the 1.5 to 2 TBSP will be the right amount per week.

After I added that 1.5 TBSP yesterday had some good spikes when top off kicked in and ended the day on a PH high of 8.25

Todays#'s

PH low 8.08 - high so far 8.27
CAL 405ppm up 15 ppm
ALK 8.904 up .392

I think I am headed in right direction to stabilize things.
