surgicalsense Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 what's your mag? salt mix? Squared, would you read my replies ... prior. all water parameters have to due with salinity....well more so evaporation. But base parameters whe starting a water change have to due with salinity. example, water at 32ppt sal may be 420ppm cal, water at 35ppt may be 460calc What? ... my Ca is running a bit on the high side.

Squared Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 none of your replies answered my questions, so i thought you were trying to shoo me away Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 none of your replies answered my questions, so i thought you were trying to shoo me away If I was shoo'ing you away I would of told you to get off my thread. I clearly post questions and go from there. You just jump in and ask questions with out even looking at what information I provide in my question. If you choose not to go back and read my original new post for the day (on my thread) that is up to you. But, do not come on giving me grief because you assume I did not answer your questions. Once again go back and read, because trust me if you did you would not of asked me those questions. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Basically your levels are dependant upon the ammount of water....as water evaporates - same effect happens with all the other minerals as does salt - its left behind...(this is considering that nothing would be using it when you mix new salt - the higher the salinity(more salt) you use the more of the other minerals you use too...so if your mixing a higher salinity your also making a higher ppm of all other elements in the salt so to answer your question about KH yes salinity affects KH....both during evaporation(causes kh to rise) and using more salt to create a higher salinity when you mix water will also create a higher kh then if you were using less salt to create a lower salinity Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I am ... I have called Ecoxotics 3 times already wondering what the hell is going on with the customer service and tech support.

Sense I have a hood and my evaporation is not much. But, I have the skimmer which does remove a very small portion of water. So since I do not mix my water, I should put in a very small amount of FW for this balance? Hope what I said made sense Danielle Yup .... I need to get a picture up of my install handy work. I can not wait to get the rest of it installed. Yay, son Link to comment
Ezsharkman Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 We love you squared! Top off water is good! Test your salinity often and make sure your top off water isn't causing the salinity to go down because u r replacing skimmer water I have to add 1 third if a gallon a day.... Stupid heat from my hqi mh lights Link to comment
