Hey all, i tested my water last night and tonight to see the amount i need to dose for calcium, alk, and magnesium. Last night, my alk was at a 7.2, magnesium was around 1425 ppm, and calcium was at about 520 ppm (This was after a water change that I did a day before). Tonight, I saw that my alk...

Hello, My magnesium is at 1395 and calcium 420 and 9.6 dkh. I know that magnesium level is high. Since calcium and alkalinity are attracted to each other to cause calcification and magnesium is to balance out the process of that, can that high of magnesium cause calcification to be slower?

Hello, I have been learning about calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium in a reef tank, now I am learning about ph. What is a way to raise ph in a reef tank without messing up the other perameters: calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium?

Hi, I have one lightly used "BRS 2 Part Doser - 1.1 ml Per Minute" for sale. I used the pump to dose Alkalinity to my nano tank for about 3 months, but recently replaced with a 4-head dosing pump. It ran ~45 minutes per day during that 3 months, so the pump has a total run time of about 70...

Can to high of levels of calcium, DKH, and magnesium be bad for fish or will it just precipitate out of the water?

Most hard coral (SPS & LPS) coral keepers im sure are dosing elements back into their aquarium, but how many of us ACTUALLY know what those elements really are? My newest YouTube video tries to explain more ..

I’m in LOVE with my Neptune Apex Controller, and it’s really turned me into a control freak! Which is great because my other love,besides my kids and wife, is SPS, and we all know that SPS love stability! So with the Apex, it allows me to log my parameters and see them in a very detailed way...

Hey guys, Starting to add some different corals to my tank. Currently have a hammer colony, zoa, birds nest, a candy cane, and 3 types on montipora. I got my first Hanna checker the other day. Tested the Calcium and it was at 261. I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro salt. Got me wondering what the...

Hi all, I just started triton "other methods" this past Monday and things seem to be holding steady and doing well so far. I have noticed that over the past 5 days my magnesium has dropped from 1300 to 1200 but all the other parameters are staying stable. (I've been testing everything...

Hey guys! I just received the Red Sea tests for Alk, Ca and Mg yesterday. I just got finished with these tests and my readings are somewhat high. I did compare the results with API tests I already owned (Ca & Mg) and they were spot on with each other. I currently DO NOT dose my tank for any of...

Here is my problem. I need to supplement my magnesium daily to keep the level above 1200, even though the concentration of kH and Ca remain relatively stable. Each day I am adding 25 ml of liquid magnesium supplement. The many experienced reefers in my local club are stumped. 30 gallon JBJ...

My water parameters are as follow Alk 9 dkh (API) calcium 380 ppm (API) Nitrate 0 ppm (API) Nitrite 0 ppm (API) ph 8.3 (API) salinity 1.024 (refractometer) i did the salifert test twice now and have been getting 140 ppm as result i bout the reef foundation products from red sea and will be...

Like the title states, I decided to break down the recommended dosing instructions per brand to help me (and possibly others) when deciding on what supplements to use and dose (and how much if switching). Also Randy, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. I decided to do...

I find that the Mg crystals that I buy from the LFS doesn't dissolve all that well. In addition, I have to pay freight to get it shipped to me. I've been wondering how liquid Mg that I can buy at the grocery store might work as a substitute? I'm talking about the stuff that is applied...

Hi guys, This forum has been very helpful with all my beginner questions and was hoping some of you might shed some light on my ongoing problems with water chemistry. Tank has been up and running for about 2 months and the levels don't want to stabilize. LFS says the water still needs to buffer...

I have a 120 reef system with mostly LPS and soft corals and I can't keep my MAG stable. Just tested it 3 times with my Elos Test Kit which I think is one of the more accurate test kits on the market. Anyhow, my MAG is sitting at 1150ppm. I ordered the Elos Expert Line buffer to raise it. Just...

I have been monitoring my alk every day (mostly) for the past 2 weeks and have seen some interesting trends to which I cant figure out the cause. Tank is a 180 gallon 6x2x2 mixed reef. Three live rock pillars, sea floor special sand (1-2") Fish are: -Dejardini Tang -Blonde Naso Tang -Yellow...

I've been battling algae on my sand bed and rocks since i think my tank went through a mini-cycle about 2 months ago when I was vacuuming my sand bed during water changes. I do water changes every other week and do about 30 gallons and now, just vacuum the algae off the surface of the sandbed...
