Okay so I’m going to try to explain this… last week I brought a sample of water to my LFS because I noticed my GSP retracted.
I tried the ALK test with using my redsea kit and I couldn’t figure out results.
anyways, took my sample and be read my salinity using Hannah at 1.20 I checked before leaving and I read 1.25 … hmm
so he tells me that’s low then check either calcium or alk (don’t remember) and in his exact words, “it’s all out of whack” so he said do 2 water changes … 1 10gallon and use the purple instant ocean and then a week later do another 10gallon using same and bring it back.
** after first water change I noticed the GSP came out a little. But a few days later retracted (all other corals thriving especially the Duncan)
I went today, I compensated for the 1.25 and did 1.30 which on his Hannah should read 1.25…….
nope. It again read 1.20.
that has to be his Hannah isn’t calibrated right? He didn’t check anything because he said it would be all off.
I did the salifert test anyways at home and it came out to be within range
so frustrating
