I thought I read some where that when dosing 2-part that you should always dose both parts......
My question is my Calcium is at 450
But my Alk is at 6.8.
Mag is at 1200
I just got my 2-part total package from BRS and am wondering for the initial dose should I just dose Alk and Mag solutions until they are at the desired levels? and leave the calcium alone for now?
(I know I should only raise the Mag 100ppm per day and Alk no more than 1.4)
I don't have many corals at this point just some GSP, a 4 headed frag of duncan and a candy cane with 6 heads. But my duncan has not opened more than 1/4th of the way in the 2 weeks that Ihave had him. and the candy cane was doing great until a snail knocked him down into the sand and is now slowly dying. Im assuming they are not happy with the low Alk levels so i would like to boost it up and see if they will come back in all their glory.
Other parameters are
Temp - 78.8
SG- 1.025
Amm-0
Trite-0
Trate-0
PH-8.2
Cal-450
Alk-6.6
Mag-1200
