Hello everyone I have a pretty heavily stocked LPS tank Mostly hammers, frog paws, torches, Goni and elegance corals they’re currently not looking super happy. I’m struggling to raise my Alk. I’ve been dosing tropic Marin original balling part B 30-40ML (mixed 16 scoops into a gallon of...

My tank is at the point where I need to dose Alk and I have been doing so manually using the Red Sea part B. Since I started dosing this I check my alk daily using a Hanna checker to make sure I’m getting the dose amount dialed in. My Alk had been pretty steady for 2 weeks around 8.7-8.9dkh...

Hey all, I have an like brand new Neptune Trident for sale. I used this for 3 weeks to make sure the parameters were correct. I had a Trident before this one and it was always off. This one is perfect and was very consistent. As you can see in the photos, it's basically new. No salt in the...

Setup is a 40 breeder several corals on the left with mainly monti and gsp on the right. There was more variety on the right but the gsp grew over it. Tip on gsp…don’t put it where you don’t want it !!! Now to the question… My dosing seems to constantly going up and now I’m using a gallon of...

A month ago I was slowing switching from the Aquaforest Sea Salt bucket to the Reef Salt bucket by Aquaforest for my corals. My Alk used to stay around 7.7dkh but since then it keeps raising. The Reef salt bucket ICP batch code give me these results on the website: 35 ppt should have a dkh of...

What Corals do you have in your tank that are the first to indicate your parameters are getting out of whack. For my it's my mystic sunset monti. As soon as phosphates start to rise or things get off a little it starts to retract polyps and the color starts to fade.

My tank tested at 7.212dKH (129ppm) and my new saltmix gives me an alk of 8.1 (145ppm). I will be doing a waterchange now but should I be raising my tank alk back up to about 8dkh where my salt mixes? I will be performing another test 24h after my waterchange to see how much it has raise the...

I know this is a question/discussion that’s been had before, probably many times. But years tick by and things update and change. Aside from your controllers (apex, hydros, trident, etc…) And notepad/ whiteboard What is the favorite phone app to log, chart, track all your important parameters...

Hey there! I recently switch my dosing for alk from Soda Ash to Sodium bicarbonate. Do I need to adjust my dose (ml/day) to achieve the same DKH in the tank? I just kept dosing 15ml per day the same as the calcium but now my Alk reading is super low so I'm wondering what's going on? Any advice...

Hi all. Looking for some advice on Alkalinity. My Alk is rising without any dosing. I usually keep my tank from 8-8.4 dkh but it’s rising to 10.5 dkh since 9 November 23. I am not dosing anything. I have turned off doser and taken the dosing lines out. My tank is set up since mid...

Hello, my tank has been running for about 5 months I transfer all my corals to the new tank about two months ago. I’m dosing All For Reef to keep up my alk but I have been testing this past week and its reading 9.8-10.0 dKH, seeing my records it seems like when I was dosing more my Alk was...

Quick question…….how many days do you test Alk before making a call on consumption? Test daily and at same time? Better to test at certain Ph levels? So morning or afternoon or night depending on Ph levels? ‘ I’m asking cuz I think my tank is consuming roughly 10 ML a day…I get it to 8.3 then...

Neptune Trident up for grabs. Just recently service for maintenance at neptune (have receipt for proof of maintenance). Used for approximately just over a year.

I've set up a tank, which at the moment only has a couple of clowns and cheato luckily. It's a barebottom with Aquaforest rock. Since it's a new tank with no corals, I've not checked Alk often, only NO3 and PO4. I use RO/DI, which I check regularly, and my instant ocean mixes to 11 dKH, but, I...

Everyone knows one of the keys to successful coral growth is stable Alk/Ca. My question is, what is the real definition of stable? Are we talking about a rock solid unwavering alk of 9.5? or is bouncing around from 9 to 9.5 back to 9.2 , etc. ok? Here's my trident results from the last few...

I've been in the hobby for 3 years but id consider myself semi beginner intermediate and have been recommended last year to dose as my levels have not been stable between water changes. Being a student whos about to head to college, school has not let me research what i really need in terms of...
