Just did a water change and I use fritz blue bucket.What’s yours at ?
A 40g change in my 220 keeps it right around 8.7-9.5
That's the largest swing I have seen

What device?My alk is reading 143 ppm
I just wanted to be sure because I have been having issues with keeping soft corals and have lost over 900$ worth of soft corals because of it, my alk and calcium are stable though even with the low magI've had magnesium down to 900 without noticing any problems. It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring it back up to 1350 or so with some magnesium chloride but I really doubt it's the cause of your corals not doing well.
I've increased Mg 300ppm in one go with no problem.
Before you replied I already calculated the dkh .What device?
I am using the Hanna alkalinity checkerWhat device?
Ah yes HannahBefore you replied I already calculated the dkh .
9.184dkh
Hanna measures in ppm
143ppm= 7.9 dkhBefore you replied I already calculated the dkh .

Ah yes Hannah
We use a spin touch so we multiply by .056
My Hanna uses parts per million instead of dkhAh yes Hannah

Oops ... 143x.056 = 8.008143ppm= 7.9 dkh
With 3 devices we use we get 3 different levels.Before you replied I already calculated the dkh .

Red Sea blue bucket is what I am using, when I checked using check my batch from Red Sea it correlates with the readings of magnesium I am getting, should I retest to double check though?
Is there a chart stating at ex: 1300 ppm calcium and alkalinity can be at ?
