I am with @Diesel on this one. I have never been a fan of NoPox, carbon doing or Biopellets. As other have mentioned, stability is key. Reading through this thread, I agree with a few others that your parameters are bouncing around more than I personally would like to see. An ICP test will help rule out, or confirm several potential problems.
A good rule of thumb in situations like this is to take a step back .Take several deep breaths, and tackle things one at a time. Oftentimes we tend to make things worse by trying to do much to fast. Meaning, adding this, deleting that, without time takes to see if the results are positive or negative before moving on to something else. Doing small incremental changes, noting their effects and then making an informed decision will go a long way to solve the problem.
Based on your posts, 1st thing I would do is get the ALK stable. Bouncing from high 7's to low 10's isn't going to work.
Bulk Reef Supplywhere do you buy the kit from.
Its run through my RODI system. CoralVue Icecap model. 2PPM coming out of the RO and 0 out of the DI.Where do you get your water from?
I don't see anything specific that would cause acros to bleach but would look at your elevated Aluminum.. are you using any ceramic media? Iam against marinepure after having elevated AL so slowly just got rid of it,, I suppose its fine if you do alot of waterchanges but anything in the tank that leeches metal of any forms for me had to go.
I had high Al with marine pure. BRSTV has shown it too in the past. I swapped it out for BioTech blocks and balls and it has gone back to 0.
Do you have a view of your Kh over say a month and a week? The one you showed was a long time period and hard to see the swings properly. I think your right bringing down the Kh, but its a slow process, I had similar problems but they seem to be stabilising with better Kh stability.
Funny you should mention that. My refugium is full of marine pure blocks.
What’s a ok aluminum level?
