I have been running my nano reef tank for roughly 8 months now and I have been fighting with Alkalinity throughout the whole process. My corals are starting to look really bad. I have been doing weekly 20% water changes but it doesn’t affect my low alkalinity levels at all. My alkalinity tests at 6.1 DKH. Since I have 2 small coral frags, I don’t believe that they take up that much alkalinity in just a week. After doing my research, I found out that my LFS uses Tropic Marin Pro for their pre-mixed saltwater. I know that Tropic Marin Pro mixes at a low alkalinity level, so I will be changing the salt brand I use. I’m thinking to switch to Instant Ocean, due to its affordability. I am not able to find any parameters for the salt but I believe that it should get the job done. Is buying Instant Ocean alright or do you guys suggest other brands?
