Good morning
I'm hoping for some opinions regarding an inexplicable rise in alk @Randy Holmes-Farley
It's been sitting steadily at 8.4-8.8 throughout day according to hanna.
I've noticed in the last two days it has suddenly risen to 9.9-10.
Salt is NYOS pure(tested at 8.5dkh)
15% water change performed weekly.
Tank has been consuming 1dkh per day steadily.
SPS dominant Mixed reef(75% SPS)
Other parameters
Salinity 35ppt
Cal 465
Nitrate 4.6
Phos 0.03
Mag 1410ppm
Temp 25.5
RODI 0tds
I recently received my ICP test back which showed a deficiency in iron & iodine so have been dosing those to reefzlements dosing calculator.
Only other changes have been twice weekly dosing of DIY coral snow(97% purity calcium carbonate) again following recommended dose.
I dose a very prudent amount of seachem fuel(50% of recommended weekly dose)
I'm puzzled as to what could cause consumption to cease or all to rise but perhaps the above will give some clues.
