SRC Member ml708 Posted December 14, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted December 14, 2013 My deltec skimmer impeller keeps getting jammed by calcium deposits in the tank. For some reason calcium levels are always dropping despite constantly high alk and mg levels, which results in me adding a lot of calcium to the tank very often. Anyone encountered similar issues and know how to resolve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsor Reef_Depot Posted December 14, 2013 Sponsor Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi Can you try adding the calcium away from the skimmer intake ? This could be a reason why the impeller is stuck .

Anyone encountered similar issues and know how to resolve? To increase ca level u have to bring down ur kh and bring up both ca n kh again. Slowly.slowly. U search ca kh balance u will know more. Calcium deposit will not be good to any equipment, regardless what brand. Quote :superman: :superman: :superman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakani Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Try to lower your MG make sure MG below 1400 it will help in calcium deposit. Does you has alot of clam if you do they might be the source that consume. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
