Hello all,
I need help to figure out what I am doing wrong and some tips on 2 part dosing.
Tank is 130g with 99.9% LPS coral and has been up and running for almost 1 year.
For the past 7-8 months I have been dosing All for reef and the tank seems stable, however recently I notice my alk is dropping with calcium raising and I switch to two part dosing thinking I will have more control.
For the past two weeks my ALk and CA are completely out of balance and the reading is around 7.5 DKH and 550 Calcium. And I got nervous… then I switch to just dosing ALK with weekly water change “ Tropical marine pro” try to bring calcium down. However I found out more ALK I dose the more Calcium I raise and now it has a reading of 600. I don’t understand why I keep dosing Alk but it’s calcium keep raising
The “test kit” I use is trident and I understand the number might not be accurate but the trend should be correct. Is there a reason why I dose Alk but the calcium increase instead?
Attach is a picture show the test result as well as the trend
