Hi all,
My IM 80g AIO tank has been running for just over six weeks, through the cycle.
Testing shows that Alk level is nominal for Tropic Marin Pro Reef, but Ph and Ca remain low.
Current averages:
Alk: 7.65 dKH (Tropic Marin PR specs 7-8dKH)
Ca: 280 ppm
Mg: 1440 ppm
pH: 7.9
For pH, I did...
Hi there,
I just checked my parameters and my alk and calcium are both very low:
Alk ~5 dKH
Calc ~350
I measured both with Hanna Checker. I ordered some all-for-reef to get into dosing but can I also just add a bit more the first several days to get around 8 dKH en 450 calc? After I get to that...

Hi Friends,
Here are my current parameters:
Salinity – 1.025
ORP – 440
PH – 8
Temp – 76
Alkalinity – 13.7
Calcium – 345
Magnesium - 1100
Ammonia/Nitrates/Nitrites = 0
Salt - CoraLife = Calcium (400), Magnesium (1150)
Do I need to be concerned about my alkalinity being so high?
Should I be...
