Tank isn’t really new (about 14 months) but I’m having a parameter consumption problem.
I water change 20L (tank is 60L) Saturday every week. Salt mix is:
kh 9.8 mg 1340 , ca 440
Before water change parameters were :
Kh 7.0 mg 1200 ca 400
After water change:
Kh 8.4 mg 1200 ca 400
24 hours later:
Kh 7.7 mg 1200 ca 400
No3 po4 always undetectable.
How can these be so low when I replace so much water ? Kh always comes back down to 7 - I didn’t think I would need to dose so often in a nano.
I am going to dose ph buffer to 8kh daily.
I also need to dose 16gram magnesium for 10 days.
is there a solution to this? I have been fish only for months because of this. I never had success keeping coral & Don’t want to lose any more new corals.
