Just calibrated it about a month ago. I can check it when I get home but I doubt its off
what salt are you using?
Reef Crystals
My latest batch of rc tested 13 alk, 540 calcium, and 1480 mag. So your levels are from the water changes, but none of your levels are dangerous.
540 is very high and its why I will be changing salt. I am actually changing due to the high alk because I like to keep it at 8. From everything I have read a calcium level that high will not hurt anything.
Well as long as its not gonna hurt anything, I dont mind bc all of my corals look healthy
Too many factors impact precipitation.....temperature, magnesium level, alkalinity, etc. Because of all the factors, you can't simply state precipitation of calcium carbonate will occur at a certain ppm.
This is the reason I switched to IO. Also finding out that Dr. Holmes-Farley also uses IO made the decision simple. Since I'm a two-part doser, there was no need for all that additional alk, calc and mag. My tank is more stable with using IO....the same amount of alk and calc as the ocean!
So r u saying I should maybe consider switching salts?
Is 0.01/0.02ppm bad from the rodi machine? I just realized I probably need new filters(of course after I already placed an order with BRS. Lol
Your TDS meter reads to the hundredth position? Mine only reads to the ones position, so when I see a one, I know it's time to change the DI resin.
Yeah, after a min it did go back down to 0 so its time to replace em
Yep. Its the BRS inline TDS meter.
Just got my filter socks in, woohoo! Time to make this water a lot more clear. So I've read that you should wash em before putting into the tank, I just threw all 4 socks in the washer with just water. Anything I should take precaution on?
And should I throw em in the dryer afterward??

I sun dry mine. Doesn't take too long. I'd worry about residue dryer chemicals.
Thanks guy
Is it advised to have 2 drain pipes going into the same sock? I don't have room for both sock mounts
