Is this even possible? Mag is around 1500 testing with Red Sea. Alk is about 8.5 with Salifert.
Red Sea calcium test I am using about 5.4ml of reagent before it turns...so Calcium under 300. Test does expire this month so yes it could be testing error but I ran it 3 times.
Will grab a Salifert test tomorrow and recheck.
But if in fact is does come back somewhat accurate how can I boost just my calcium with no effect on Alk or Mag?
No sump, no dosing pumps, just my ato witch pumps fresh water with some kent ALK buffer. I also sporadically dose a pinch of Biocal, but it would really bump up the ALK in order to get my Calcium up
