Hello all!
I am currently mixing 7gallons of water using Tropic Marin Pro. This is only my second time mixing salt water myself. My tank is currently at 8.6 ALK.
Last water change was 7gallons and the ALK was 8.5 before adding it to the tank
This time the water is showing up as 7.8 before adding to tank.
Why would this happen??
Should I raise the ALK in the mix before adding it to the tank to match my tanks ALK?
