Too much Calcium

Hi Guys

I just did my test and found that my Cu is at about 460.
I know recommended is 450 so is it possible to have to much Cu?

recently added a Kalk reactor but it is only dropping in about 4L of RO with Kalk a week.

Thanks,

Ross

 

That much over the reccommended isn't a worry, just ease up on the Kalk a bit.

btw - Cu is copper not calcium (Ca)

 

Opps .... um I was just testing you

Ok Ok was not very good at chemistry at school, come to think of it was not much good at anything at school.

 

Me neither, who'd have thought when i told my chemistry teacher it was a crap subject that i would need to try to understand it now

 

Hi Ross - no - anything from 420 to 460 is 100%
That is what the calcium levels are in my tank....

 

I am not sure Mekaeel, I do not have a alk tester.
(I am assuming that is alkalinity??)

Sweet will see if I can get a kit tomorrow after work and check it out.

 

Or Seachem

 

and get an MG kit too...

 

Mek don't you find that the more you use the alk kit the bigger the drops get?

 

yea me too but does that mean that the drops we adding are to small...if so Dkh reading would be incorrect...

 

Dude did you get me confused with this.....
I know this as a PH test.... he he

It is 8.5 as it always is.

Ross

 

no ross..Alk and PH ain't the same..

 

Doesn't the PH test measure Acidity vs Alkalinity?

 

Ok lets see if I am learning anything, for the Alk test I must use the kH test kit?

That will give me th dkH reading and that is what I am after.
8 to 12 dkH is fine?

 

Ok my kH is at 12...... am I on the right track here at last?
