Pho: 0.7
Nitrates: 9
ALK: Bad range (was 9.2 before precipitate)
Calc: 440
Mag: 1372
Scraped off a portion of the carbonate precipitation from my "Coral Essentials" ALK (Carbonate) additive and the entire tank is now cloudy and i can't get an ALK reading. Just started with corals and have 14 fish in the tank. I'm concerned that this may affect either the fish or corals in the tank.
Any Advice on whether i should add vinegar or other or just leave it ??
Edit: PH jumped to 8.94 but has come back to 8.4 now, typically 8.1-8.3
