Hello group hope you all doing well. Just got my water tested and results are getting better not not there yet. Question it looks like my alk is getting to almost 12 and I heard that is not good. How can I reduce it? I am also dosing all for reef, redsea ab+ and redsea nopox. If you can help IT will be realy apriciated. I am also doing 20% water change this evening. As you can also see I have some redsea calcium and magnesium if in case you guys will recomend it. Thanks

Q1: How old is the tank? Is it still cycling?
Q2: How do you like your spin tests? Reasonably accurate?

My tank is just 5 month old. I get my water tested at a LFS and from the looks of it the 4 I go have only spin test. I heard good and bad thing about the test but again is the only thing I have to go by with. Thinking of maybe going to ebay or looking forna sale and getting a few hanna test but my pockets are getting dry
