Re: Alk/DKH to high, and why?

Nope Troy the wife is safe "I think" She would have to be sprinkling it in the tank all most, as if it was the floor.. Putting it on the floor would not produce enough dust to raise the Alk that much and then there is that calcium rising and there is no calcium in BS. 1`teaspoon in 50 gal will rise the Alk 1 dkh and your alk is going upo like 2-3dHK. Your tank we will say is like 200 gals net water, so 200 / 50 = 4 x 2 or 3 = 8-12 tsps she would have to get in the tank. Based on your posts that is like here putting in 3-4 tsps / day. Maybe she is being a good wife and helping you with your pH by dumping some of the box in the sump Maybe there is a Baking Soda Fariy in your house

An explosion can be defined as a loud noise, accompanied by the sudden going away of things, from a place where they use to be.
