Hello, I have some questions I was hoping to get input on.
My alkalinity rises each day, about .2 dkh. To combat this, I have been dilluting muriatic acid with rodi water and dosing that daily. It's quite scientific and precise I assure you. I do not let it off-gas or aerate it by any means. I want to better this aspect of my reef keeping.
I'm mostly confident I know why my alk increases (I'm not explicitly dosing it...), but this thread is more about application rather than diagnosis.
What/when/how would be the best mechanism for doing this?
Would it be better if I mixed it into my water change water instead?
Does it need to off-gas for some time?
Is there a scenario where I can pull this off with a dosing pump?
