Not to hijack the thread, but i have a somewhat related question. I just shifted from dosing Kalk from my ATO to a dosing pump, dosing 24 times a day. I'm still trying to dial it in and currently doing 2,500 ml on a 150 gallon (110 volume) to try to keep pH at 8.3. But i'm noticing my salinity dropping. Seems odd considering i was seeing about a gallon of evaporation a day and i'm not even dosing a gallon Thoughts?
The only way salinity can drop is if you are dosing more than evaporation. You might check to see if the amount dropping in the reservoir matches the amount expected to be dosed. pumps often vary.
