Hi guys,
Now we almost done about our new cycling tank...phosphate,nitrite,ammonia ect. is undetectable our tanks is getting clearer and better..but the problem is our low salinity,,..we only measured at the salinity of 20 ppt and after adding calcium hydroxide,calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and vinegar the salinity is getting lower,,,from 20 ppt to 17 ppt. then become 15 ppt. we stop the calcium hydroxide in our kalkwasser reactor and replace with natural sea water,after 3 days we have the salinity of 19 ppt. we still continue the salt water until now, but the salinity becomes lower it measured this morning for only 15 ppt. we dont know what to do..we do water change last week for two times about 30%...please help..i dont know if this added solution will affect the salinity...any advice pls..
