[REEF-DADDY]

10ish

 

[Clouded]

[EmDy]

8

 

[Bebo77]

i am shooting for 7's

 

[Clouded]

so it should be up that high? mine is really, really low then...

agian I am looking for the meq/L rating not DKH.

 

[rutz81]

3.92 meq/l....anyone can divide their dkh by 2.8 and you'll have the conversion....

Clouded, or you could've multiplied by 2.8

I am pretty sure everyone was giving you the dkh. I sure I am not the only one but I found the the acro is happiest at NSW levels.

I think mine is around 3 meg/L now.

I had a little problem with my CR(I know that last # of ARM will fit in there). It made it run weird. Anyway my alk went to over 6meg/L. My Montis STN and the acro got real dull.

Running it high doesn't really seem to give any advantage.

Interesting...then mine is ok...maybe a little low.

 

[Wiskey]

3.21 Meq/l, That is about 9 Dkh.

[Jeffie]

3.0-4.0 meq/l preferrable 3.5meq/l

 

[cwegescheide]

NSW is 2.7meq/L from what I've read.. I keep my alk at 3 - 3.5meq/L

I've found that low alk is much more detrimental to coral health that high alk so I like to keep a little bit of a buffer zone incase my Ca reactor is not pumping enough out.

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

im keeping it anywhere between 7 and 10, trying to keep it around 9. In my limited experience, it seems values anywhere in the above range are alright, as long as they are very constant.

 

[Corn]

10-11 kh

 

[TCU Reefer]

11 dKH

 

[seattlerob]

9 dKH is my target...

 

[Deuce67]

8 DKH
