Hi. I am about 4months into starting a new LPS tank.I have not put any corals in yet because I’m waiting for more coraline algae. Everything has been consistent; salinity, magnesium, calcium, nitrates, and phosphates are holding great measurements. I will be switching salt soon.
My only problem is alkalinity keeps dropping. I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt. I do a 20% weekly. Before my water change alk is 9.3-9.6. After I go back up to 10.2 Then 2 days later I’m back to 9.6. Where is my Alk going? No corals are using it.
