My tank is about ~300 gallons total volume. It has been cycled for about 4 weeks now. I do not have any corals yet however my alkalinity is dropping by ~.5 dkh everyday resulting in me adding around 100 ml of BRS liquid soda ash. Calcium has moved from 498 (9/17/2020) to current level.
Using Reef Crystals
Other parameters:
Salinity: 35
PH: 8.2 (RedSea test) Planning on implementing Hydros Control 4 when released and didn't want to buy a new Ph probe for my Apex.
Calcium: 450
Magnesium: 1480
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Phosphate: 0 (Old Hanna HI713 need to get a better one)
Temp: 77.5 - 78.5
Since I have no corals and cycle is complete (I read that Nitrogen Cycle will consume some ALK) is my current usage expected? I am going through the uglies and have a CUC coming Friday.
Thanks,
