Hey guys, I just tested my waters right after I found my mushrooms shrink to a nub, and I found my calcium today at 600+ ppm. anyone know a safeway (besides water change) to bring them down. everything else is at a nominal level.
here are my parameters right now.
Temp: 78deg
Gravity: 1.026 (just under 35.5ppt)
calcium 620ppm (OMG!!!)
Alkalinity: 9 /196.9
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 5ppm
PH: 8.0
Phosphates: 0 (thank god for purigen)
I did just put in a home made media basket that was superglued together, which was the last thing I did -- I heard that superglue doesn't leech into the tank, so I'm not sure -- you guys tell me.
I'm kind of at a loss now, should I pull my media basket out? it now sits in chamber 2 of my tank, and chamber 1 still has it's pad water is kinda whitish cloudy, but not like milky, almost like a slight haze.
