Hi all,
I invested in a couple of Hanna checkers for the first time! I have a 25 lagoon that's about 7 months old. It's all LPS right now, and I'd like to add some montis soon, so I tested both Calc & Alk today for the first time and they came in at 518 & 8.1, respectively.
I double tested calc & it came in at 521 the first test, and 516 the second test - leading me to 518. I have a few questions....
Is this too high?
Should I be raising my Alk? I know not to be chasing numbers, but I just want to make sure I won't start to see negative effects from such a high calc level.
If my calc is fine, is now a good time to seed coraline since it hasn't started growing? I'm thinking the high calc levels
Everything in the tank seems generaly. happy (I had one acan head recede a couple of weeks ago, but it's coming almost 100% back), but other than that everything in the tank seems okay.
I don't have a mag test kit, so that's my next purchase. Thanks!
