What might cause one element to fall while the other climbs? I currently dose 85ml of Kalk per day at a concentration of 2tsp/gal.
I've been fighting to find the correct amount of kalk to dose into my system. I have a 120Gal tank with a mix of LPS, Montipora, Stylophora and one Maxima clam. I've been dosing Kalk via a Neptune DOS. Ca and Alk levels were both stable at around the 450ppm and 10dkh. Then things started to shift. Consumption went up and I have been struggling to find equilibrium for months.
The major problem is that Alk is falling (currently 8.1) and Ca is climbing (556 now). Mg is at 1335.
What might cause one element to fall while the other climbs? I currently dose 85ml of Kalk per day at a concentration of 2tsp/gal. Perhaps its time to switch to 2-part. ?
