Hi guys, so done my weekly test today, and my Alkalinity is at 6, it seems low, should i act on it or just keep an eye on it?
Thanks for all your help.

I guess that depends on what's in the tank? FOWL or corals? If corals, what kinds. Also, what salt mix are you using? How often do you do water changes? I have a mixed reef and keep mine at 8.

You all good for FWOLR. IF you going for corals though, try to bump the ALk a bit more..
