First time doser here. I just started to dose the Red Sea Foundation A, B and C (Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium). I gradually worked my way up to the following levels over the course of 4 days:
Alk (dkh): Start 6.2/ End 8.3
Calc (ppm): Start 397/ End 437
Mg (ppm): Start 1360/ End 1440
I've noticed after 2 days my encrusting monitipora (which I've had for 3+ years) is starting to look bad and not doing so hot . It's color is originally red, but it is starting to fade out.
I am thinking I changed parameters so quickly. Any advice what I should do next? My thinking is try to maintain these parameter levels for the next 2-3 weeks (not increasing them any further). My target levels are Alk 8, Calc 450, and Mg 1440. Thoughts?
