Okay I am pretty sure I may have asked this in the past but still having an issue.
I have a 115 gallon tank. I am using Neptune trident to monitor the level (saintly checking with Hanna) and the level seem to be fairly accurate. My Mag is about 1340, Cal about 430 and right now Alkalinity hovering around 10. Alkalinity continues to rise even with zero dosing. The only way to stop is to turn off both Alkalinity and Calcium and then it falls. When both are off Calcium falls but no where near as much as I would expect. This implies my coral are not taking in Calcium. I have a mix of SPS and LPS corals and they all look good but they certainly are not growing very fast. I am at totally loss of what to try next. There has been a number of ideas presented to me most center around the tank not being dirty enough as my Phosphates are almost zero. My filtration is Refugium running 7 hours (backed it down from 14 hours), Bio Pellete reactor, and I have Chemipure carbon. The fish load is 4 fish (two clowns, 1 Flame Angle, 1 Yellow tang) I am using 3 Hydra 26 to light the tank and the lighting values are set per BRS video. I am open to trying anything and thanks for the help
