I have been doing this hobby for awhile now and cannot figure out why I can’t keep my alkalinity at about 8.8-9.1 range consistently??
I have 250 gallons of water
Parameters are
Calcium 420
Magnesium 1215-1300
Salinity- 1.026
Alkalinity just seems to always drop and can’t keep steady
For the last month I have tested religiously at the exact same time every day with my Hanna checker and it will not stay at the range I want
I have adjusted my bubble magus doser accordingly to see if my demand is more than I think but I’m up to 230 ml a day now of alk and I still can’t keep my alk at 8.8-9.1 range???
I have a bunch of coral but I would assume my corals would be growing insane with that high of a alk dosage but maybe I’m wrong???
The alk checker is calibrated also and within range...
If anyone could help me with some ideas or need some more information before helping just let me know!! Thanks!!!!
