just tested my io as well
380ppm calcium n 12dkh alk @ 1.026

Hello,

Wondering who is using a calcium reactor and yet still have the problem with Mg and Ca levels because of salt mixes? As far as I know, media would dissolve the proper ratio of elements into the tank.

I don't use a reactor.
Those were my test results. Way too low. It seems people are not believing me. But like I said, now that I have switched salts I was able to get mag and cal up to where they should be and they are staying. The only place they would stay with IO was cal 260 mag 800. You tell me why there was a change when I switches salts, after battleing for months.

hi Marty,

I'm sure that people believe you...in my own case it's more another example of how different batches of salts always seem to be different. Lack of true standards? Who knows, but I'm happy that you were able to get the problem resolved! :biggrin:

Best,

Rob

There is no standars from what I can tell. What I can't figure out is why after all the trouble IO has had, people still use it. Habit I guess

because only a few people had problems.. the majority of people using it have not had any problems.

Point well taken. I just hope that they have fixed what ever the problem was.( Hung over worker on a monday) And that I start having better results with the new salt I'm using.
