Hi .
Trying to help a friend who can't keep up .
Ph that is
Ok so he's been struggling with low ph 7.7-7.8 for ever.
The systems 300g with a basement sump.
Plenty of water flow .
He's checked his co2 levels and they aren't High .
Ph probes have been calibrated .
Using TLF c- balance Alk/calMag levels are pretty standard .
Kalks being dripped via a dosing pump via a Icecap stirrer .
The kalk drips fairly close to a phosban reactor which causes the rowa to turn rock hard in about a month.
Then flows over filter flows which also get very firm .
Sump doesn't have the best design :/
Would moving the drip line from the kalk make any difference.
Is the kalk not being effective as it seems to be reacting with the media and rowa ?.
He's tried adding more kalk bit the kh Spikes 11+
Thanks
