Hey everyone, hope you guys can help. I've been dosing 6mls TM AFR since Sunday and I have seen no increase in CA or Mag at all. As a matter of fact, it's gone down, especially Mag.
Tank specs as follows: Waterbox 40.1 - 24gal display, 16 gal sump. Total water volume is about 30 gallons considering displacement and water level in sump.
Params on Sunday:
Amm - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrates - between 3 and 7
Phos - .04
PH - 7.9
Alk - 8.7
CA - 390
Mag - 1310
SG - 1.026
Params as of today:
Amm, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phos same.
PH - 8.2
Alk - 9.4
CA - 380
Mag - 1250
SG - 1.026
CA test kit is Red Sea, Mag is Aquaforest, Alk and PH is Hanna. All purchased within last 2 months and not even close to expiring.
Livestock - 5 Different Zoas with no more than 10 heads each. 2 Acans with 3 heads each. GSP about the size of a matchbox and a silver dollar sized frag of Sprung's Stunner Chalice. All doing wonderfully by the way.
I know I don't have a lot of livestock but I'm trying to raise my params to be able to start caring for SPS and larger LPS and keep it stable. Really scratching my head with this one... Any help is appreciated!
