Hello,
I have a 300 gallon mixed reef that has been setup for about 5 or 6 weeks. My ALK started dropping a couple days ago. It went from 8.7 and is now at 8.3. I have increased ALK dosing considerably. Up from 128 to 175 ml per day - and ALK is still in decline.
I am using Tropic Marin 3 part.
Is it odd, that I am dosing so much more ALK than CAL and MAG?
I am mixing a new batch of part B to see if something is wrong with that. I see no precipitation. And I checked that the ALK is flowing correctly through the DOS.
Should I just keep increasing ALK doseage to cath the fall? I usually run about 8.75 or so.
Thanks,
jvc
