Wondering if anyone can help me make sense of this. My 39 gallon system consumes about 5.74 dKh/week and only 3-4 ppm of calcium (so within the margin or error my Hannah checker). I’ve never had this issue until about a month ago when my weekly testing was showing my Ca was getting much higher...
Good day. I had a fight with Dino’s recently and in that fight I let my tank stay with the same water for a while. Now I have lower parameters and it seems like my tanks doing better as things are growing. With that my alk has dropped from 7.9 to 6.8 over the last 7 days while the remaining...
First time doser here. I just started to dose the Red Sea Foundation A, B and C (Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium). I gradually worked my way up to the following levels over the course of 4 days:
Alk (dkh): Start 6.2/ End 8.3
Calc (ppm): Start 397/ End 437
Mg (ppm): Start 1360/ End 1440...
I have low pH, and calcium that fluctuates between 460 and 480 but I never dose.
Alk 10.5 - dose 1dkh red sea liquid alk daily, the salt has a dkh of 8. (I use the gap to dose more alk for the ph boost)
Calcium 460-480 (no dosing, it swings around at random)
Mg 1450 - dose 4ml red sea liquid...
I’ve been dosing the 3 part solution for a little over 6 months now. In my last ICP test, both Calc (522ppm) and Mag (1446ppm) levels were quite high with my Alk steady at 8.5.
How can I get my Calc and Mag levels back lower when I’m dosing equal parts of the 3 solutions (52ml/day)?
I also use...
Hello everyone, I started my 60 gallon shallow reef tank last Aug 2018 and all is doing fine until the other day. I noticed my birdsnest "in the middle top of the picture" is starting to have tissue loss. It might be STN. tissue loss is on the top side of the BN so i know its not phosphate...
