Salinity 1.021 29 ppt

[Reef-_-Noob]

From 1200 to 1660ppm with 300mL? That doesn't sound right. What are you dosing?

Tank is 31 gallon AIO so its 100L is about 26 gallon so yea not too far off, I didn't know that conversion you posted i was going by the label it suggested to add 250ML , welp I guess that's it for the magnesium additions lol

I did downsize my tank last month from a 100 gallon that was running for about 3 years so all the bigger pieces are from that tank and have recovered color better than previous tank.

But wasn't dosing kalk in previous tank i was just letting it ride! I had kalk dialed in with evap rate but my last batch i dumped too much in so slowly increased my level . That's why all the questions instead of making a new batch and lowering back to the 8.5-9 dkh

I have referred to the instructions from RedSea directly:

Red Sea's MAGNESIUM FOUNDATION C

Red Sea's MAGNESIUM FOUNDATION C - contains blended salts of magnesium and is part of Red Sea's complete Reef Care Program. Magnesium complex for balanced formation of coral skeletons

How does raising the salinity affect the other relationships? Does the chemistry become more stable? Less chance of precipitation. Less chance for the corals to be affected negatively at the higher alk?

Everything rises as salinity rises (except pH and ORP). A rise from 29 ppt to 35 ppt will raise everything by a factor of 35/29 = 1.21.

Alk will rise too. So go slow and let alk fall.

Thank you all for the insight it has been extremely helpful
