I've been having problems with low pH. Dosing every 3 or 4 days because it drops under 7.8.
I haven't tested anything else in a couple weeks. I know--figgin' lazy. Tested today. Typical--pH is 7.8. All my basic stuff is okay. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate--ZERO. Calcium is off the chart 500+ Can't figure this out.
My alkalinity is 2.86 and dKH is 8.0. :shock:
I have a 2-part buffer that was purchased at the LFS when they were going out of business. I HAVE NOT used it yet. 2 different bottles of liquid. It's made by ESV. It's called B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System. Part 1 is the Alkalinity. Part 2 is the Calcium. It gives directions on how much to dose.
I don't need the Calcium. I'm at 500+ right now.
Can I just use the Alkalinity buffer by itself? Do these 2 bottles need to be added together?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! This sucks.:frustrat:
