sorry about that edit! I do that sometime so it doesnt look like im trying to bump the **** out of my post counter. I have a bad habbit of getting ideas and just blurting (or typing) them out
Anyways, it looks like my water is on its way back to normal as the dKH went from 16 to 13.5 in a couple of days. That initial 15 gal water change i did earlier this week took it down to the 16. I have another 15 gals mixin up now and should be ready soon.
As for the pH I'm really not sure why it is so high. I'm nervous to start my kalkwasser drip back up. One for the high dKH i created (doh) and the high pH that I have no idea why it's occuring.
At this point it doesn't look like I've had any precipitation so I should conisider myself lucky I think
? Oh yeah I should probably add that since the addition of the bicarb I haven't been adding any kalkwasser mix to my top-off water.
Anyways, I thank you, and everyone else helping, again for your kind advice and teachings. Makes sense so far
