So a little background. Been fighting dinos for a while but finally eradicated them.. during this method i did have my lights reduced to 20%max and monitored alk every 2 days for a bit the tank consumed no alk but after a short period tank started consuming alk again so think corals adapted.
Nitrates were on 5 and phos was 0.03 during this time
alk would drop 0.5 dkh a day which was normal. after i eradicated dinos been 12 days now increased my lights back up to about 60% maxrunning hydra 26HD on red sea reefer 250 and since then my alk has not changed.. at all.
The corals and sps seem all happy with polyps out but no consumption Been 7 days now.
alk has stayed put at 9 not dropped( i confirmed this is correct with a second test kit
Nitrates on 25and phos 0.10 so they have shot up after the dino battle.
Do you think its stopped to the sudden increase in light and i just need to wait or the nutrients?
