Hello I've been in the hobby for quite some time and actually my very first tank I set up I used fast setting quikrete. I didn't cure it or anything in the tank it went! To everyone's surprised I never had an issue with it mind you that tank is long gone, and I'm finally setting up another tank...

Hi All, I`ve been in the hobby a while now. I have had good success with Softies and LPS but when it comes to SPS I just dont seem to be able to hit the sweet spot. Tank is a DD Reef-Pro 900 (290 Litres total system), I have a Radion XR15 (Blue) at 100% on the AB+ Setting, 10% water change every...

I’ve been in the reef game for a long time, but took a break for a while and just recently got started again. This time around I’m trying to make sure I really stay on top of water parameters, so I’ve been testing regularly. I started this time with a used tank from my dad, a Red Sea 350 and re...

I’m trying to use the alkalinity test with the Red Sea foundation pro kit, but when doing the titration the tank sample never goes from clear to blue, and never turns green either. after a while it becomes a pale ish yellow, but never turns blue or green. I’ve done it several times now, and I’m...

I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing: -0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand) -16g magnesium (seachem dry) Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet. Can people recommend good/better brands? Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef? I feel like...

Tank isn’t really new (about 14 months) but I’m having a parameter consumption problem. I water change 20L (tank is 60L) Saturday every week. Salt mix is: kh 9.8 mg 1340 , ca 440 Before water change parameters were : Kh 7.0 mg 1200 ca 400 After water change: Kh 8.4 mg 1200 ca 400 24 hours...

I run a Red Sea reefer 525 xl I’m currently dosing 90ml alk (Red Sea brand) 10ml calcium( Red Sea brand) 0ml magnesium( Red Sea brand) is that’s dosing ratio typical? My target numbers are calcium 450 currently at 499 Alkalinity 9.5 currently 7.94 Magnesium 1400 currently at 1438 i can’t...

Hi all, I have a 40 g sumpless system running a canister filter. The canister is mostly filled with Matrix and has some floss for general waste capture. I’ve recently upgraded from FOWLR to starting with some corals, upgraded the lighting to a Kessill A160 blue. Current stocking is 2 clowns...

Hi everyone, I've got a kalk question. I want to eventually get a kalk stirer but it's out of my budget at the moment but I want to start dosing kalk because I dose 2 part and it's expensive, also my ph peaks at 8.1 but is not very stable so I want to get my average ph higher. Could I take some...

Hey all I have a 240g 5 months old water parameters are all good. The only issue I am having is keeping my 8.0-8.4 ph, it usually drops daily to 7.89 and hovers there. I dose alk 4 times a day at 200ml total daily. I can’t keep it to stay at above an 8. Calcium I dose 75ml a day and it...

What would cause my pH to be so high? The only thing I dose are KZ coral booster, Xtra, snow, cyano clean, vitalizer, and flatworm stop. Even the pH in my calcium reactor is high 7.9. my Alk also continually increases. The dips in the graph is when I lower it with muratic acid.

I have a well established 32 gallon tank with another 10 gallons of sump. It has been up and running for 2 years. Recently my alk has started dropping and I can't seem to get it back up. Normally I try to keep it in the 8.0 range but over the last few weeks it has continued to drop and just hit...

The alkalinity in my tank seems to be dropping steadily (about .1 dKH/day) independent of the other parameters. All parameters are tested daily because my humans are new to reefing and want to understand how everything works together. The other parameters remain relatively steady at: Temp...

Hello, So I have a 25g JBJ Biocube. It was doing pretty good until recently. Been having issues with Phosphates and Alkalinity. So I’ve been going to the LFS weekly and having them test everything. Asking what I should do or not do. I went in yesterday expecting my Alk to have dropped and it...

Howdy! Hopefully an appropriate place to post. I've noticed over the last week or so my Alk has started to swing a fair bit from low of 8.46 to high of 9.05 with my set point 8.6 I've adjusted the dosing baseline to the average over the last month and just today increased my testing from 4/2...

My alk is at 17 dKH and I was told a water change would fix this. However, after changing out about 5gal from my 20gal tank, the alk stayed the same. I’ve read in other threads that some people suggest acid, but others heavily warn against it. Is this a problem I just have to wait out?

Hi everyone, I recently installed an apex system on my tank, I have the dosing pump as well it just hasn't been installed yet. I initially set the unit up about a week ago and I got an really low alk reading initially i think the number was 5dkh. I went ahead and started doing some brightwell...

I know I ALWAYS have a little ‘test anxiety’ when performing my water tests every week (alk every other day). I always hope everything turns out well and it usually does. Problem is, when it doesn’t (or I have missed a few weeks of testing), it can sometimes bring on a little panic as the...

Background: I have a FOWLR tank that I'm getting ready to convert into a reef tank. It's established (for about 6 years now) and I started buying the extras (lights, pumps, trident for monitoring, DOS pumps for dosing) because I know me, and I know the more automated I can get it, the more...

So my I noticed my Alk dropping just before the new year. It's typically steady in the mid 8's but my Trident was showing a pretty consistent drop. You can see in the attached pictures it went from 8.39 to 7.0 in just 3 days or so. Now I have a DOS, with Trident controlled dosing which is...

Not sure if this question has been asked before but is there a possibility I could negatively Affect my tank if I choose to dose soda ash since my tanks dkh and ph have been relatively low lately dkh 7.4 ph 7.8≈ - Hector
