What Corals do you have in your tank that are the first to indicate your parameters are getting out of whack. For my it's my mystic sunset monti. As soon as phosphates start to rise or things get off a little it starts to retract polyps and the color starts to fade.

My tank tested at 7.212dKH (129ppm) and my new saltmix gives me an alk of 8.1 (145ppm). I will be doing a waterchange now but should I be raising my tank alk back up to about 8dkh where my salt mixes? I will be performing another test 24h after my waterchange to see how much it has raise the...

I know this is a question/discussion that’s been had before, probably many times. But years tick by and things update and change. Aside from your controllers (apex, hydros, trident, etc…) And notepad/ whiteboard What is the favorite phone app to log, chart, track all your important parameters...

Hey there! I recently switch my dosing for alk from Soda Ash to Sodium bicarbonate. Do I need to adjust my dose (ml/day) to achieve the same DKH in the tank? I just kept dosing 15ml per day the same as the calcium but now my Alk reading is super low so I'm wondering what's going on? Any advice...

Hi all. Looking for some advice on Alkalinity. My Alk is rising without any dosing. I usually keep my tank from 8-8.4 dkh but it’s rising to 10.5 dkh since 9 November 23. I am not dosing anything. I have turned off doser and taken the dosing lines out. My tank is set up since mid...

Hello, my tank has been running for about 5 months I transfer all my corals to the new tank about two months ago. I’m dosing All For Reef to keep up my alk but I have been testing this past week and its reading 9.8-10.0 dKH, seeing my records it seems like when I was dosing more my Alk was...

Quick question…….how many days do you test Alk before making a call on consumption? Test daily and at same time? Better to test at certain Ph levels? So morning or afternoon or night depending on Ph levels? ‘ I’m asking cuz I think my tank is consuming roughly 10 ML a day…I get it to 8.3 then...

Neptune Trident up for grabs. Just recently service for maintenance at neptune (have receipt for proof of maintenance). Used for approximately just over a year.

I've set up a tank, which at the moment only has a couple of clowns and cheato luckily. It's a barebottom with Aquaforest rock. Since it's a new tank with no corals, I've not checked Alk often, only NO3 and PO4. I use RO/DI, which I check regularly, and my instant ocean mixes to 11 dKH, but, I...

Everyone knows one of the keys to successful coral growth is stable Alk/Ca. My question is, what is the real definition of stable? Are we talking about a rock solid unwavering alk of 9.5? or is bouncing around from 9 to 9.5 back to 9.2 , etc. ok? Here's my trident results from the last few...

I've been in the hobby for 3 years but id consider myself semi beginner intermediate and have been recommended last year to dose as my levels have not been stable between water changes. Being a student whos about to head to college, school has not let me research what i really need in terms of...

Hello I've been in the hobby for quite some time and actually my very first tank I set up I used fast setting quikrete. I didn't cure it or anything in the tank it went! To everyone's surprised I never had an issue with it mind you that tank is long gone, and I'm finally setting up another tank...

Hi All, I`ve been in the hobby a while now. I have had good success with Softies and LPS but when it comes to SPS I just dont seem to be able to hit the sweet spot. Tank is a DD Reef-Pro 900 (290 Litres total system), I have a Radion XR15 (Blue) at 100% on the AB+ Setting, 10% water change every...

I’ve been in the reef game for a long time, but took a break for a while and just recently got started again. This time around I’m trying to make sure I really stay on top of water parameters, so I’ve been testing regularly. I started this time with a used tank from my dad, a Red Sea 350 and re...

I’m trying to use the alkalinity test with the Red Sea foundation pro kit, but when doing the titration the tank sample never goes from clear to blue, and never turns green either. after a while it becomes a pale ish yellow, but never turns blue or green. I’ve done it several times now, and I’m...

I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing: -0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand) -16g magnesium (seachem dry) Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet. Can people recommend good/better brands? Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef? I feel like...

Tank isn’t really new (about 14 months) but I’m having a parameter consumption problem. I water change 20L (tank is 60L) Saturday every week. Salt mix is: kh 9.8 mg 1340 , ca 440 Before water change parameters were : Kh 7.0 mg 1200 ca 400 After water change: Kh 8.4 mg 1200 ca 400 24 hours...
