making limewater?
« on: December 24, 2011, 23:28:23 »
I am wanting to start to dose limewater to my tank.  How much lime do you mix up with a gallon of water.  What I am thinking is to install a 5 gallon bucket with limewater which I will manually stir once a day and have my ato pump into the bucket and have the clear water  overflow into the tank.  I have a ca reactor but am experiencing low ph and need to boost the ph level.  The tank is barely getting to 8.04 during the day and dipping to 7.8 or so overnight.  I have been experiencing some tissue stn on several of my acros and I am thinking it might be due to the lower ph levels.
thanks
Jeff
