Long story short....my alk and ph always seem to run a bit low. No matter what I do it just stays at the same levels or will rise for a day and then level back off to where it decides it wants to be
My ph always sits around 8.0(just checked)..... really want it to be at 8.2 to 8.3
Alk at 8.3 or 2.97 (just checked)....would like it at about 3.66
Mag is currently at 1260
Calcium is at 475
Salinity at 1.026
No nitrate/nitrite/ammonia/ says no phos but am sure with the hair algae and diatoms it is in there somewhere
I have a 92 corner with a 20g sump and change 15gal every 2 weeks. I use Trop Marin for my salt and Salifert for my test kits
Everything in the tank looks great except for some hair algae and now a few brown diatoms on my sand bed
I've tried using DT's new line of calc/mag/alk supplements to level out my numbers in the last 2 months but no luck. There are no fish in the tank....just clean up crew who get fed 2x a week (very lightly fed) and the corals get fed about the same.... A bit of snow and some cyclopeze
So any ideas would be great
