I started carbon dosing, and while I think I understand that it doesn’t affect alk, my apex trident was plugged and not making tests. I fixed that today and now have the following. Red Sea foundation tests
Red Sea S1000 260g mixed reef
Alk 7.0
Ca 430
Mg 1440
dosing Fusion 1&2 10ml/24hr
Red Sea XL525 139g mixed reef mostly softies but 3 small blasto, one candy cane, one Med trachy, nice sized pipe organ
Alk 7.3
Ca 430
Mg 1520
Nitrate 18.2
Dosing Fusion 1&2 5ml/24hr
Should I increase part 2 to increase carbonate alkalinity. And if so how much to not change to rapidly.
Was running mid 8’s per trident, added several corals and frags from last weekends sale.
Or do I need to test x # days in a row to see consumption first. Just don’t want to get too low before I make corrections.
Thanks
