I've had my IM 25g lagoon setup for about 6 weeks now and have a question about parameters and dosing. I am using regular IO salt but my Ca measurements have been consistently low; I'm trying to make sure the salt is mixed in the bucket thoroughly before mixing a new batch but I'm still only testing at about 380 in a fresh 5g batch. With the addition of some more corals I've noticed my Alk is now beginning to drop as well.
I'm still pretty lightly stocked and am hesitant to begin dosing if I don't need to but also want to be proactive and not wait until I'm having problems to address it; I do plan to add more LPS over the next couple of months I just don't want to get into a game of chasing numbers in a nano tank.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
