Magnesium.

[gnarlydudecory]

So for a while I had gotten pretty complacent and stopped checking the levels of my tank as much. Long story short. Calcium ended up really high. PH had dropped by a little but still in safe range. Alk was a little low. And magnesium was down to 1000. Been working on getting magnesium back up. Used a ph buffer to get ph up. And dosed some alk. It’s back into the good. And calcium is down to normal.

What is the best way to keep these leveled out and keep them there

There are many ways to dose balanced ratios that will keep calcium and alk when the whole thing is used to maintain alk. AFR, multi part systems, etc.

Hey there,

Easy solution - start dosing alk, cal, and mag on a daily bases. Most importantly, start testing at least once a week.
I assume you dont do water change as well ? BC a WC can replenish those elements back into your water.

Kamoer dosers are pretty affordable and you could maybe find few preowned on this forum to get you going.

Good luck bud and happy reefing !
