say I just put water in my 150 as well, and trying to get me levels stable is being a pain. I use the brs calculator to figure out how much alkalinity and calcium to put in and the levels initially come up if I test a hour or so after I put it in. then a bout 5 hours later the levels are back down to 8 and 9 dkh, from the 12.2 that I adjusted them to. also the calcium the same. I add about 1000ml of each each day in 3- 5 hour periods. I don't have anything in here but live sand from Oceans Live, and dry rock. I was wondering if your or anybody else is having this issue. it's as if i'm pouring the stuff down a black hole. Maybe because it's a brand new tank and the dry rock is sucking up the alkalinity and calcium??? i've got 150lbs of aquaMax dry rock from marine depot. give a shout out if you've run across this. or are going through the same thing. i've already gone through a gallon of each...
