to start off my water parameters are: salinity 1.026 ph 8.06 ammonia nitrite nitrate phosphate all at 0 calcium 410 mag 1500 and kh 7.7.. Now my alk is 7.7 due to me adding brs soda ash yesterday at 2 oz.. When tested yesterday it was 6.7 on Red pro test kit.. I read and watch thousands of things about when ph drops your all is out of wack and Id like to keep everything as stable as possible.. I tryed doseimg kalk with my tunze ato which spiked my ph the first time the ato added water so got a bit scard and backed off the kalk and just keep adding the brs soda ash as need.. Question is can anyone school me on the kalk as that would be easyier for me or should I just get dosing pump to dose the soda ash for me and if so can u school me on that.. Any info would be much appeariciated...
