sontdo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I just check my ca level, 250 and alkalinity 22. what is the safe way to fix this problem. I don't have a ca reactor set up yet. I've been supplement the tank with A and B solutions. I also use pH buffer too. I just changed 30% water last week. Should I do another water change?

wegotjs Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Slowly adding ca will bring ca up and alk down.I use Kent Turbo Cal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 If you add calcium, be prepared for a snow storm of precipitated calcium carbonate. It should not affect anything, but it will make your tank cloudy for a while. This will lower the alk. Any type of calcium chloride should do the trick. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
