Tested my Alk today and it was 6.0, might actually be lower, using Salifert. Other params are:
Ca: 420 (salifert)
Mag: 1400 (salifert)
I dose ESV B-ionic 2 part for calc and alk. And ESV Mag. I dose Alk and calc on seperate days, Around 10ml of both (2-3 times a week). This seems to be working for calc, but I honestly didn't think my Alk would be that low. Do any of you have a suggestion to raise it? I'm worried if I increase Alk too quickly my SPS will RTN/STN (yes, this happened to me before and I lost 2 colonies).
Another thing to add, I dose Red Sea NoPox daily (2ml/day). Could this have an effect on my alk? Just curious because I know GFO (being a phosphate reducer) can lower Alk..
