Every ICP test I do shows low sulfur even when magnesium is in good levels. I am actually ~1500ppm magnesium (I know its high). Last test was Oceamo and sulfur was at 718 mg/L.
In an attempt to raise the levels I dosed Reef Factory Sulfur at there max recommended amount of 25ml per 100l of tank volume. I have 300 liters total so I dosed 75ml last night. According to their instructions that should have only raised sulfur by 10 mg/L in my tank. Today my dkh levels are dropping fast even though I have increased my alkalinity dosage. I have gone from 8dkh to 6.6dkh in about 24 hours and now getting concerned. The only thing different I did was dose sulfur.
The corals looked ok but I am worried that will not last too much longer if I can not fix the issue. I am going to just give a huge boost in alk dosing. Hoping it's nothing but a HUGE growth spurt as that would be great but alarm bells are going off.
Does sulfur affect alkalinity? Dosing my alk supplement I noticed a lot of precipitation.
