Hello all, I've setup my first saltwater tank and I'm getting ready to buy my first few coral frags but I'm having 1 issue. I've just recently started putting kalkwasser in my ATO and I've been having ph swings which I'm not sure if they are acceptable or not. I went from 7.9 to 8.15 ph in a 24hr period. But the real issue which confused me is that it peaked at 8.15 and then dropped back down to 7.9 in about 12 hours. I'm running the Apex Dos for my ATO and it was dosing the entire time that it went from 7.9 to 8.15 and back to 7.9 from the same batch of ATO. So I'm not sure if I'm dosing the right amount or dosing too fast. My tank is going to be for strictly SPS coral so I'm trying to get everything as stable as possible before I put anything in the tank. I have about 30 gallons total of water. Here are my current parameters:
temp: 78
salt: 35.6ppm
Ph: 8.0
Alk: 7.7
Ca:430
Mg:1400
