Hello all!
My tank parameters are:
Alkalinity: 9.1 dKh (Trident)
Calcium: 455 (Trident)
Magnesium: 1387 (Trident)
pH: 7.84-7.99 (Trident)
Temperature: 79-80 F (Trident and separate probe)
Phosphate: 0.03-0.06 (Hannah)
Nitrate: 4-6 (Hannah)
My question: I am receiving some SPS frags today (mini colonies so larger) and they’ve been kept at an alkalinity of 7. I normally buy frags that have been kept between 8-9 and haven’t had any problems in that range but I am worried about such a large dKh shift for these animals and want to do my best for them. I don’t really think trying to acclimate over 3 days is feasible. What else short of that can I do?
Thanks for any wisdom you might be able to offer and any thoughts in general!
