Hello All-
I have been lurking for a while getting great info from the site. I have a fairly new (6 month) 13.5 g fluval reef tank with mostly sps, 4 fish, 2 RFAs and a few inverts. Everything was going great until I checked the water parameters today. These are the parameters in question this morning:
Salinity 35 ppt
Calcium 360
Alk 10
Mag 1050
ph 8.2
My calcium and magnesium are usually much more within the normal range so I decide to add a capful of Seachem Reef Calcium and 2 cups of Kent Marine Tech M magnesium. As the evening has gone on I have noticed that the water is getting cloudier. I just retested the water and got these results
salinity 35 ppt
calcium 340
alk 13
mag 1230
ph 8.4
I am very concerned about the cloudy water and the sudden rise in ph and alk. Will the water clear up or is there something that I should do. BTW, I am also using an ATO with 1/2 tsp. Kalk in 1.25 gallon of water.
THanks!!!
