Hey!
So, 3 days ago my GSP did not opened fully so I did an Kh test (Salifert) and got 6.4dKh (approx). Naturally I did a water change (2 days ago) to start raising it up and now my alk is at 7.2dKh (approx) but the GSP hasen't opened at all since the water change. Yesterday I went to a LFS and he convinced me to buy the Aquaforest Kh Buffer but i have been hesitant to add it because I do not have Calcium or Magnesium test kits.
I'm still a newbie around the hobby to be honest so I don't fully understand the correlation between these 3. Would there be a problem if I add it worrying only about my Alk??
Also, Do you think this is the reason the GSP has not opened yet?
Ammonia: 0 (API)
Nitrite: 0 (API)
Salinity: 1.024 - 1.025 (Refractometer)
Temp: 24.5-25.0ºc
Light: AI Prime 16HD
Refugium with Chaeto
1 Pulsing Xenia
1 Green Star Polyp
2 Mushrooms
2 Mexican Turbo Snails
Thanks!!
