My tank has been set up for about 8 months, ever since it was set-up alkalinity has always been lowish, but now its getting to the point where I'm getting seriously worried, even though everything else is very stable. It is a 25 gallon/100 Liter system. I'm surprised, since all of my coral have been growing decently, and new corals don't seen to show any signs of stress.
Parameters:
Alkalinity: 4.8 dkh (It was 6-ish a few months ago)
Calcium: 450 ppm (Has always been stable)
Magnesium: 1350 ppm (Has always been stable)
pH: 8.15 (Has always been stable, which confuses me, since low alkalinity should result in unstable pH, right?)
Temperature: 26.5 °C/ 80°F
Salinity: 1.025 SG
Nitrate: 1 ppm (I have been fighting a hair algae issue lately, that's why it's so low)
Phosphate: 0.03 ppm (I have been fighting a hair algae issue lately, that's why it's so low)
Ammonia and nitrites: 0 ppm
Stocking:
2 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Bicolor Blenny
1 Orchid Dottyback
4 Hermits and 4 Trochus snails
2 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Emerald Crab

1 Colony of candy-cane coral
1 Frag of Candy-Cane coral
1 Frag of Duncan Coral
1 Small Colony of Pavona Cactus
1 Frag of Torch coral
A few colonies of zoanthus
