In my case, the main cause of my problems was a collapsed doser tube on my Kamoer. I didn’t know but you are supposed to change the tube every 2000 hours on average, the tube had approximately 8000 hours on it based on a year of 24/7 operation. I ordered a head as well, so I can repeat most of this again soon. Thanks to Steve Burton, I was able to borrow a replacement tube but I didn’t get everything back up, calibrated, and running until midnight last night.
I also recalibrated the pH probe on the calcium reactor which had drifted up 0.4. I had to replace two John guest 1/4” male adapters also after I removed a couple pieces of tubing to determine the cause of the Kamoer not priming afterwards. They were causing a small air and water leak. I don’t think they were part of the original problem.
I lowered the pump dosage last night to 8.5ml /min, not knowing how long the probe had been reading high or the last time I calibrated the Kamoer output. I was up to 3.3 dKh this morning, but down to 3.0 tonight which is where it was yesterday when I found the problem. I increased the output to 15ml and I will check in the AM. I need at least .5 dKh a day increase to get on an upward trajectory and I have only a few days to get it right before we go on vacation.
