Long story short I'm a lazy boy and yesterday I tested Ca for the first time of my one year old tank. I only had the luxurious API kit and it gave me a very-clear-result of 360ppm, but I would say it kinda looked like 380 as well. But never mind, you can say it's 300ppm. So apparently Ca is low, no wonder my corals are suffering from slow growth. That leads me to thinking Mg and Alk are low as well, aren't they?
So I ordered the Salifert kits to save my life and they're coming tomorrow. But in the mean time, what kind of dosing should I buy? Just Ca or Mg and Alk as well? Should I buy those Reef Code bottles or should I dose separately?
Tank: mix reef
NO3: 5ppm
PO4: 0.1
Ca: 300 - 380ppm
