I never even checked parameters other than nitrates. My tank was fine and I had no issues. Then I upgraded to the 180 and that’s where the problems started. My acans started to shrink my fox coral soon followed and I wasn’t sure what was going on. I started checking parameters my calcium was really high and so was my alkalinity.

have you checked the magnesium with another test or a sample of fresh saltwater to see if the results are correct? Maybe the test has expired?
