Hi All,
I did a 10% waterchange like I usually do a couple of days ago and my corals hadn't really opened up yesterday. Today I checked my tank and of my SPS STN'd about 30%. The parameters right now are:
9.5 Alk (before waterchange was 9.25)
430 Ca
1250 Mg
0.05 phosphate
0 Nitrate
I've already started mixing more saltwater (another brand) to do a large water change today, but I'm not 100% sure if it's the right idea. The new brand I'm using has much lower Alk than the previous and my tank and I feel like that might stress the tank out even more.
Help is greatly appreciated!
