What is wrong in 7 dKH Frank? It's safe to say ........ nothing! In the sea in coral reefs approx. 6 - 6.4 dKH measured, 7 is the optimum and also intended of me.. as you can see, with the Balling method it is easy to hold the value on an optimum state. I know in the USA are valid higher values as standard (8-10), in Europe for a long time any more, we try to reach very near to the optimum and to hold them.

yep that's possible Frank, MEA CULPA, mea maxima culpa.I use TM Pro, Red Sea Pro and the new ... TIMO Reef salt ( a new german brand). Once again sorry Frank, my mistake.
btw .... the water I use for RO/Di has a dKH around 5

Hello Lynn .... or you are Lisa?..... however, many thanks for your nice entry in the guest book of my side.
They dont like Soft- and LPS corals as neighbours, the most Soft- and LPS corals are able to sting very much; she cannot defend herself against it. Blastomussa merleti needs a "sunny place" to feel fine. The best place is in the upper area of the aquarium, she likes a lot of light. :angel2:
