Paratore Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 If you're in Keizer, run a sample to The Premium Aquarium. They will test you water for free. It will give you and idea on if your test kit is accurate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjabeaver Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Alright just a quick update... Ca is currently 400 Alk is 10-10.5 (salifert and hanna) I have been testing daily watching the alk drop down to where I would like and increasing the ca to where it needs to be to balance. The driveway heat mixed up perfect as did the baking soda. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratore Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Got mine back up to 8 also. My mag was way out of whack and caused the issue along with other stuff. A good reminder to test for mag every once in a while! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I need another days worth of data to get a good measurement of the daily drop Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just checking in, mag, alk, and Ca are all inline now and holding fairly steady. I am really liking the Salifert Alk test, very easy to use and read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I do it never ever moves and I do test it.. ordered a new salifert test kit and will see what's up. I did test my mag. and it was low so did a dose.
