Hello, I’ve been using All for reef (powder) for about 2 1/2 months and the tank is 5 months old (some of the rocks are 12 months old).
I started at 4 ml and slowly increased to get the right amount of nutrients. Right now I’m at 9,0 ml per day. It’s doing a good job at maintaining calcium but I can’t seem to get magnesium higher without also raising alkalinity.
Here is my question : should keep upping the AFR daily dose, despite the alkalinity rising, or find another separate supplement just for magnesium ?
Here are my parameters :
Nitrates : 22
Phosphates : 0,11
PH : 8,0
Salinity : 1,0255
Alk : 9,0 (was 8,5 last week, before I upped my dose from 7,0 ml to 9,0 ml)
Calc : 440
Magnesium : 1180 (was 1160 last week before upping the AFR dose)
Thanks for your help !
