Hi all,
Newb here. I added some corals 17 days ago. This one is maybe starting to look deflated? What do you think?
When I put it in, my Alk was a little low (6.2), so my LFS suggested I started dosing Alk, so I did. I haven't been terribly consistent, but I'm back up to about 8.0. I have a DOS, I just need to get it setup.
I also had an incident 5 days ago where I accidentally dumped a lot of RO/DI into my sump and on to my floor. My salinity is still recovering slowly.
Current parameters:
Phosphate 0.00 ppm (I measured 3 times. got 0.00 twice, and 0.03 once, but the 0.03 was using a cuvette that I rinsed with tap and didn't rinse with RO/DI or dry)
Nitrate 9.0 ppm
Alk 8.0 dHK
pH 8.2? My salifert kit is really hard to read. Neptune Apex is reading about 7.9.
Mg 1270 ppm
Ca 400 ppm
Thoughts?
Thanks!!
Brett
