I will consider this. I use ESV Seawater system which typically mixes up to my usual Alk level in my tank. I need to go get a bigger/another mixing station though. Before the issue started I was pretty much doing the KISS method. I was only dosing Alk/Cal/Mg and Iodide and doing water changes every other week.When in doubt, change it out!
Water that is Find a salt that mixes close to your consistent alk maintained, and do a large water change. Disable return pump, do your basting and scrubbing thing, then suck out the water and replace. Stop using products! Manual intervention and elbow grease, that is best approach. This will reset and balance minerals, nutrients, and bacteria, which clearly there is a balance issue. Just went through dinos, dumped all carbon dosing and bacteria products, and back to boring old Berlin method, dosing kalkwasser, passive carbon, protein skimmer. I could not be happier
KISS
After the issue I started , I put filter socks in and then I tried/trying Prodibio BioDigest, Prodibio Bioptim, KZ Coral Snow Plus and I do have some KZ Bio-Mate coming next week, this will probably be the last product I try.
I just came back to edit this post as I saw a Dr. Tims email and now I'm also considering Waste Away ;Facepalm
