My calcium is dropping. I'm dosing 69ml plus another 6 manually today. CA lines are not clogged--checked this morning. Why is it dropping? Am I really consuming this much? I do have coraline on back wall. Thinking I should remove some of it (tank is 79 inches long). any advice, suggestions or even "it's normal" welcome.
trident is a new replacement, calibrated to their fluid. Normally I calibrate to my tank when I'm sure my numbers are right.
Tank is 1 year. 240 g RS 3xl900 (approx 220 water volume)
