I was having decent results dosing two part with my SPS, but had been missing the results I had with a Cal Rx. I fired up a new reactor a couple weeks ago and began to dial it in.
When dosing two part my alk was usually 7.2-7.4. My Cal was around 460, and mag around 1400. Never paid too much attention to Phosphate or nitrate as everything was looking good,
I wanted to bump up my alk to about 9, and I have done that over the course of the last couple weeks. I have experienced STN from the tips for the past several days. My cal remains around 460 and Mag around 1500. Nitrate is 7. I tested Phospate at .02 ppm.
My PH has dropped a bit and drops to 7.8 and tops out at 8. Would like it higher but don't think this is a huge issue,
Think my issue is the higher ALK and low Phospate?
