Meron po ba dito nakakapag dose ng Kalk manually? Pano nyo po yun ginagawa? Mababa po kasi PH ng tank ko pero lahat ng ibang parameters OK naman.

[choypogi07]

used to dose manually before (although not really manual).. what i did was to make my kalk mix in a 1g container, let it sit for a day, then drip-dose it at a rate of 1drop/4secs..

[Piscean]

I see. Pero kung normal naman po ang calcium level (440-460ppm) kaso mababa PH level kailangan ba Kalk ang i-dose ko?

[choypogi07]

imo, no.. you'd be raising your cal levels.. what's your alk reading? your alk should be proportionate to your cal levels.. do you have sufficient water movement? are you skimming? bio-load? running sump with macro on rev-photo?

too many parameters to consider before jumping to conclusions..

[Piscean]

What I have is a 25 gal sumpless tank. Not sure if I have sufficient water movement but I do have a wavemaker and I am using an OHF. I'm using resun sk-300 for a skimmer and have very little bio-load. Just 2 clowns, a CS, around 10 nassarius snails a several beginner level corals. I might be overfeeding a little though. I've also been sugar dosing for almost a year now to keep the nitrate and phosphate levels down.

[choypogi07]

you may want to stop the sugar dosing and reduce feeding quantity/frequency

[Piscean]

Will do. Kala ko po kasi sugar dosing will bring down the nitrates which might be causing the low PH levels.

May nakita po pala ako product sa petshop Azoo PH Plus. Do you think this can help or hintayin ko nalang tumaas?
