why does this happen in the first place? Why after 4 years all of a sudden?
Baking soda for only the alk component?
No idea. Could be lots of things we don't know.
Did you buy B-ionic concentrate and forget to dilute it?
pH is higher for some reason? (maybe measurements isn't accurate now)
Phosphate or organics are lower?
Alk is higher than you think due to bad alk testing?
Do you dose anything else?Ya I have a chemistry minor and I can’t figure it out either. :/
Concentrate was diluted upon purchase.
I will recalibrate pH probe
PO4 is in line
I don’t mess up a simple titration. Quantitative analysis made me a
Only other thing I can think of is was the concentrate frozen when you got it or how old is it?Concentrate was diluted upon purchase.

It’s been closest kept before I got it. Dose esv 2 part is all.Do you dose anything else?

Have you checked any pump impellers, PH impellers, or heaters for precip(looks like a brownish crust)?
Checked the sandbed to see if it's turning hard anywhere?
haven’t noticed any in anything mentioned above. Also have a couple gobys that have been moving sand regularlyHave you checked any pump impellers, PH impellers, or heaters for precip(looks like a brownish crust)?

Regularly clean those. Coralline is good lolLooking at the photos of the power heads there is a lot of build up and coralline
Maybe I missed it, but what size tank are we talking here? I do see quite a bit of coralline.
I dose 115ml of randys diy 2 part into an 80G.
I actually had to go check my apex, and edited after you quoted.75 gallon DT. 100 total volume. 115mL of alk supplement or total between the two?
I put in 48mL on top of my daily 40 in the last 24 hours of alk only and haven’t moved it .1 dkh
He’s literally dosing it right in front of a power head. OP I would clean the coralline off the power heads because that severely decreases the output. I know you are a seasoned reefer but those need to be cleaned.I did miss it, sorry 75 gallons.
I think you just need to dose more, and in a higher flow area so it doesn't "snow globe" on you.
Can you provide the link or ingredients to his 2 part please?I would try Randy's diy 2part its super cheap and the new recipe can boost ph...I think I dont use the newer sry
Test with that a few days then back to what you have in stock and see what changes?
That was specifically for the picture. I have very mature colonies and corals. Flow is pretty high in DT.He’s literally dosing it right in front of a power head.

Also not entirely sure the powerhead is actually on.
