lduncan Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate) NaHCO3 You can use the calculator here http://reef.diesyst.com/ to figure out how much you need to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeh1 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 is a 9 dkh level alright. What is the optimium for a marine tank. Got my test kit today. ran it through 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Many opinions on this, most tanks run a dkh anywhere between 7 - 11, so 9 is a happy medium. The natural sea water at the reefs has a dkh around 7, so you should not go lower than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
