hey all Happy Halloween!!
Curious to know what y'all thoughts are on my parameters. 8 days ago I did a 20% wc as i normally do every 2 weeks. Just started dosing All For Reef at 4ml daily prior to wc. I noticed my alk before wc was 8.3 and after wc it was 9.3 (wow). I use reef crystals and tested the RC before adding to tank and Alk was 12.5 so im wasn surprised about the 1dkh increase. Livestock(softies/LPS) had not adverse affects after wc which was a good thing.
parameters after wc 10/23:
PH - 7.79
Alk - 9.3
Ca - 480
Mag - 1380
NO3 - 0
Phos - 0.15
salinity - 1.026
dosing only AFR 4ml/day
parameters today:
PH - 7.7
Alk - 8.2
Ca - 440
Mag - 1350
NO3 - 0
Phos - .15
salinity - 1.026
so being that my alk dropped 1dkh in week with Ca and Mag slightly dropping as well, do i dose 5ml/day with AFR?
or should i do weekly 10% wc to maintain parameters instead of 20% twice a week?
I appreciate any input.. thanks in advance and be safe tonight
