Can't Keep KH higher than 7

Gary,

Take Dwayne up on his offer. As bad as I hate to admit it, he knows what he's talking about and will get you going in the right direction with the least amount of confusion.
 
+1 on Dwaynes offer. Take him up on his help. You will not be sorry.

He has got a way of explaining this stuff so even dummies like me can get it :)

Just had water tested by a third party. Calcium is at 300, KH at 7. I plan on giving a water sample to Dwayne today for his expert analysis.

By the way, I borrowed a Sailifert Test kit for Mag. as well as buffer. I'll test that later today.

Thanks for everyones input.

Buffered for MG. last night. Tested MG. this morning and it was below 1150. KH was down to 5 so I buffered for that. Cal. was at 320. I didn't buffer for that. Plus, my cal. reactor is not working.

This is a mess. Per Dwayne, I'm buffering for MG. every 24 hours until it rises.

What a pain.
 
Did you have a lot of sps? Didn't you have a tank maintenance guy before?

Sorry to hear about the loss if there is any way I can help let me know.

Yes, I had quite a lot of SPS but it's all gone. I do have a maintenance guy everyweek. He to is trying to figure out what's going on.

When all else fails, talk to Dwayne. Dwayne told me to buffer for magnesium 3days in a row which I did. He thought just raising the magnesium might make the KH go up.

Tested water tonight.

KH 8
Calcium 410
Magnesium is high at 1500 but it was 1150 last night so I buffered this morning. I assume with water changes it will go down.

Thanks Dwayne!
 
Well, you are getting closer:D Now, get Dwayne to your house and get that reactor dialed in:)
