1) That is easier said than done. I have literally changed almost all of my water over the last 10-12 days and my Magnesium is NOT going down. Either is my calcium. Yes - I have tested to make sure the water I am creating is coming in at the right numbers. It makes no sense why the problem has continued as long as it has.
2) I am not dosing anything but Alk. My alk was at 9. I simply did a 10G water change and it went to 10. My Calcium and Mag did not drop. I did not need to dose Alk yesterday at all. The water changes have brought the number back up.
3) I will continue to do water changes. Going to mix the sand up and do a 20G water change tonight. I will measure chemistry again before and after and hope that calcium and mag have dropped. .
My main problem is that my calcium and Mag should be dropping. It is not.
I have used two sets of kits. Hannah and API. If there was a LFS that sold any other kit I would have bought it, I realize I have to order them online but hate doing so. I can change more than 20% water per day, just not sure how wise a move that is.
