Update… have an issue that is stumping me.
When I switched from 2 part I was dosing around 50 mls of AFR and everything was ROCK SOLID stable. More than my 2 part ever was…fast forward to around 1-2 weeks ago I cannot keep my numbers up.
I’m losing .5 dkh within 6 hrs between tests (Trident, 4 tests a day). My mag seems to be stable….falling maybe 10 points over a week which makes sense to me. Ca has of late been dropping a bit more than normal…maybe 20 points over a week. I’ve increased dosing AFR from 50ml up to 75mls and still not helping. I’ve been manually dosing bicarb and cal to keep numbers somewhat stable. TM calculator has me at 86mls max dose… getting close
What I’ve changed with the tank is… I’ve been dosing mb7 in am and h2o2 at night due to a few dinos that have been in the sand. I’ve also dialed back my lights (half intensity) to beat them back. I’d expect my numbers to rise, due to less light and less uptake, but it’s been the opposite.
Any AFR pros or @Lou Ekus have any idea why this is occurring?
TIA
