what can I do to lower my carbonate hardness I have 140 gallons in my system and Ive done 2- 35 gal water changes and its still maxes out my test kit at 16(using a Salifert test kit). When I test for Alkalinity using a Seachem kit I come up with 4.5 meq/L
My other numbers are:
Salinity 1.023
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
pH 8.6
Calcium 460
Amonia 0
I've been using Oceanic Salt in my next water change I'll try IO. I'm making up some RO/DI water as I write
Any help is appreciated
