Proper way to test Effluent ALK?

Recommended Posts

I just got my DIY calcium reactor setup and running. Its holding steady at 100ml a minute, 40 bubbles per minute, and 6.9ph.

 

I was going to wait to set it up until I got a Salifert Alk test, but could not find one locally. Seahorse will have them in mid-week.

 

For now, Im going to attempt to test my Effluent ALK with my API test. My target tank ALK is 9 dKH, so I am going to start at 18 dKH out of my reactor.

 

My API test only goes up to 12 dKH, so I plan on deluting the effluent with a 50/50 mix of either RO/DI water or tank water. Which should I use?
