Hi Guys,
I am currently having issue with my carbonate hardness. Its 6 dkh...my tank is almost a year old and am dealing with this from day 1...i was using Red sea reef salt..later switched to IO reef crystals to help keep my alkalinity higher, but unfortunately that didn't help out.
TANK - 50gallon
Nitrate - around 0
Phosphate - around 0
Calcium - 380 to 400 ppm
Magnesium - Not tested
Salinity - 1.026
I only have LPS now, which are doing good..only my torch coral doesn't extend full ...is 6 dkh a normal range. Why even after switching to IO reef crystal i have low alkalinity..I am curious to learn more about it..is there anything i should take into consideration.
