Hello. I decided to measure my akalinity for the first time ever in a year. Oops!
It measures at 4.4 dkh on the Hanna checker. I'm pretty surprised at this reading so I decided to retest it and low and behold, I got a 4.5 dkh reading. Wow. I don't see any ill effects of this low dkh other than zero coralline algae growth. Things are still growing and even my indo torch grew a new head. my monti caps and sps are slowly growing as well.
I decided to measure my new saltwater and it measured at 7 dkh. I use Tropic marin pro salt. 7 dkh is what this salt measures at correct? I just want to make sure I am testing my water correctly since this checker is new to me.
I think its time to start dosing to bring this back up! I was thinking kalk or all for reef.
