    Suggested Daily Alkalinity Increase when adjusting dKH

    What's a safe daily increase in alkalinity levels that will not stress out corals? I've seen several different numbers. BRS's calculator recommends not increasing by more than 1.5 dKH in one day. That seems like a pretty high jump in one day. WWC's videos mention not increasing by more than .5...

    Hi all! Long time lurker here, but the first time I'm posting. Long story short: I run a mixed reef setup with 20+ years old live rock and my nutrients keep bottoming out, to the point where my pulsating Xenia has all but disappeared and GSP won't even open. SPS are growing fairly well, to the...

    I've needed to adjust my alkalinity levels manually since making a new mixture with BRS soda ash. The new bag has a 1 1/2 cup to 1 gallon ratio. The older bag was 2 1/3 to 1 gallon. Is there any way I can use a Hanna checker to measure the "strength" of the mixture? Can a certain measurement of...

    Sodium Carbonate dosing time frame

    When dosing sodium carbonate the calculator says to dose slowly, but I’m not sure how slowly. Can this happen over a 1 hour period or a 1 day period? Seems like a small amount and a small move in alk.
