So I swaped tanks from a nuvo 40 to reefer 350. I used all live rock ( ive had this rock for 7 plus year) and matrix, other biomedia from the old tank and almost all the water. Then added some dead and cured rock and all new sand.
Day one corals looked fine day two sps started to pale out day 3 sps bleached and favias bleached. So nitrate, phosphate and ammonia are fine. I have hana and salifert kits and both are pretty much the same kh 9.1 cal 467 mag 1478 and ph 7.6
I know the ph is low and I'm working on bringing it up.
I went to my lfs and he tested with api and came out with the nitrate, phos and ammonia being in the clear, the ph at 7.5 but mag and cal being drastically low with alk at 7.8.
Not really sure where to go from here. What test kits do I go by? I don't want to just start dumping stuff in the tank.
Also did switch lights from a radion to hydra 26hd but they are on acclimation mode.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
