What's the best product to dose to raise Alkalinity when your Alk is low, the pH is normal, Calc is normal and the Magnesium is normal?
20G IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2
Temp: 80ºF
Salinity: 1.026 SG
Ph: 8.1
Alk: 6.2 dKH
Nitrate: 13.8ppm
Phosphate: 0.24ppm
Calc: 442ppm
Magnesium: 1540ppm
(all checked using Hanna Checkers)
Weekly 3.5 gallon water changes using Aquaforest Reef Salt
The salt should be mixing to a higher Alk, but even when I measure Alk the day after a water change the highest I have tested it is 6.9 dKH.
I'm leaning towards Brightwell Reef Code B. All for Reef sounds great, but I don't want to raise Calc and Magnesium too high, Magnesium is already on the high side. Kalkwasser is also an option, but I don't need to raise pH and two part seems easier if I don't want to add Kalkwasser to my ATO reservoir. I also think I can add Reef Code B alone without adding Reef Code A.
Thoughts, tips, suggestions? TIA!
